Artist and Free Spirit Mary Turner Jackson Shipman died peacefully on August 24, 2021 surrounded by family. Her passing was some-what sudden though not unexpected following the discovery of a brain aneurysm in early
2020. Mary spent many happy years in Victorville and Apple Valley as young girl with her beloved grandmother Helen Turner and had returned to the area in recent years. Her life-long love of art and navigating the ocean
was well known by all who knew her. She is well loved by her many friends and family members; her beautiful smile will be missed by us all. She is survived by her husband Bob Shipman, her two daughters Kim Hogue and Lisa Lehman, her brother Steve Cox and her sweet dog Shelby. We know her final
wishes for us all would be “don’t worry, be happy”.
