Cousin Mother Turner was a Lady After God's  Heart ❤  She was a Lady of Love & Kindness and boy did she love the Lord.

She was delighted when she found out that my family was from Delhi, La and we were related and man did she welcome me with open arms.  Mother Turner was extraordinary and full of wisdom. Sometimes years would past before we spoke but she would always remember my voice with "Carmen where you been & Baby l Love You.

Thank you Mother Turner for always loving me and keeping me in prayer❤ 



Wow, words can’t express how much my family loved this beautiful lady.  Her personality, smile, soul and giving spirit will be missed beyond measure. When I think about the word neighbor, Joe and Roena Turner are leading the pack as two individuals who epitomized the word. If you were looking for good conversation and guidance just pull up and sit on the porch. If you were looking for a tasty meal, just pull up to the table. If you needed to borrow some sugar or anything else, you just had to pull up and ask. There is no doubt in my mind where this lady will be going. The angels sing hallelujah while welcoming her home. Love to the family on this occasion but rest assured this is a celebration of a wonderful and beautiful life!!!

Words are never adequate when we mourn, although we offer your family heartfelt words of sympathy as we mourn with you.   I have such  warm, wonderful memories of Mrs. Roena when I served as announcing clerk for Victory Baptist Church I am honored to have known her.  Family, do take comfort in knowing she is RESTING n PEACE.
We ask GOD to bless the Turner Family.

A few years ago, I had the occasion to meet and have lunch with Mother Turner.  Immediately, it was evident she was a woman of great strength with love and dedication for the Lord!   To have spent time with her is a memory I will always cherish.  In our brief gathering, she taught me the importance of being among  church family and friends.  I owe my thanks to God and Mr. and Mrs. Vern Jordan for the golden opportunity to have met her.  We have lost a great Lady, who carried in her soul a wealth of Dignity and Grace.  The graciousness of her warm smile will shine forever in our memories.  Heaven now has another amazing Angel.  Rest in Peace Mother Turner.   I send my heartfelt sympathy to the family of Mother Turner.       Barbara Irby

Dear Family,

We were honored to have been welcomed into Cousin Roena’s home numerous times.  Our memories of her smile and gentle spirit will be remembered forever.  She always shared family history with such joy and pride. Our last visit with her was truly delightful as she forced us to eat. We needed little prodding as we enjoyed her wonderful meal, laughter, and fellowship with some of you.  Blessings to all of you and thank you for sharing her with us.  May you be comforted by fond memories of her. 

Much love,
Bobby Joe and Elois Wyche Saucer

My most fond memories of Roena is her smile and one on  one conversations . 
She  always  said,  "you know  I love you"

She knew how to make you  feel  good  whether at church or in her home...I loved that about her.

God bless the Turner family, you lost a wonderful Mom ,  Grandma , Great-grandma . You you were there with her until the Angels came ...now she is with our Lord.

Much love and be blessed .






Mother Turner was a very beautiful soul. I met her in church 20 years ago when my husband and I joined Victory MBC. I grew to love and admire her. I will miss her sweet smile and hugs she gave me every Sunday that I saw her. My husband , Rev. Robinson remembers the great time they had when he visited her during her illness. We both thank God for her being a part if our life. Rest safely in the arms of Jesus Mother  Turner. God loved you best.

I will always cherish our times together.  We talked for hours about any and everything.  We laughed, we cried but we loved one another.  The holiday dinners will never be the same without you. You will be dearly missed to infinity. 

Mother was a woman who was a good example for all women. She was important to my life and development as a better Christian. I feel sure that she is now worshiping God.
To the family, may God give you comfort during this time.

I loved Mrs. Roena she had a wonderful gentle spirit!  My mother and Mrs. Roena  attended school together!  I loved visiting her we’d talk about current events, the church and of course her beautiful silvery gray hair!  Every time I would visit I would take her tea cakes!  She complained about her daughters eating up her tea cakes!  I always told her I would bring her more!  I will truly miss her beauty gentle smile and Spirit!  Rest in Heaven Mrs. Roena!
