Terri Ruth Turner

Terri found joy in her work as a nail technician after completing cosmetology school, where her warmth and kindness made every client feel like the most important person in the room. She later became the owner of Louisville Tent and Awning, which she operated alongside her late husband, Charles Turner.

Terri loved spending time with family and friends and had a gift for turning even the simplest gathering into a memorable celebration. She enjoyed listening to live bands at Smyra Inn and Two lane, places where everyone knew everyone. Above all, she cherished time with her loved ones, filling every moment with laughter, love, and an undeniable zest for life.

Terri is survived by her life partner, Lealon Robinson; her sons, Erik Leigh Houillion and Lantry Houillion (Laura); her granddaughters, Karleigh and Analeigh; her mother, Betty Fielden (Don Fowler); her brother, David Michael Whitehead (Kathleen); her sisters, Janet Hines and Christie Johnston (Steven). She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
