A funeral service will be held Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm Chapel by Rev. Carol Williams Gilbert and Mary’s nephew, Rev. Tim Duncan. Entombment will follow at Lakeview Memorial Park. Friends will be received prior to the service, from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., at the funeral home.
Mary was born May 11, 1935 in Staunton, VA, the daughter of William and Flossie Waits Duncan.
Mary was a fine Christian lady and was a member of Lees Chapel United Methodist Church. She retired from the Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company and enjoyed shopping and puzzles. Mary was a kind soul who would always manage a smile, whatever the situation. This smile was often returned with kindness. Mary will be remembered for her determined, feisty spirit. She will be missed.
In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph Turner; her son, Glenn Turner, and her brothers, Allen, Dale, Bernie, and Gordan Duncan.
Those left to cherish her memory include her brothers, James Duncan (Charlene) of Rockingham, VA, Rev. Donald Duncan (Edith) of Howard, OH, Phillip Duncan (Janeth) of Phoenix, AZ, Howard Duncan (Ruth) of Staunton, VA and Paul Duncan (Evie) of Leola, PA; many nieces, nephews and cousins.
The family asks with gratitude that memorials in Mary’s name be made to Lee’s Chapel United Methodist Church, 2303 Lee’s Chapel Rd., Greensboro, NC 27405.
