William "Bill" Henry Turner

Bill was born July 15, 1926 in Greensboro, NC to parents W. Amos Turner and Maude Snow Turner.

He is survived by his son Timothy P. Turner and his wife Nancy B. Turner, five grandchildren, Kerry T. Shumate, husband Scott Shumate, Katherine T. Weller, husband Wes Weller, Alexandra T. Hamilton, husband Joe Hamilton, Logan O. Turner, and Cody O. Turner, and four great-grandchildren, Turner G. and Sammi S. Shumate, and Brynlee L. and Lochlan G. Weller.

He was preceded in death by his wife Edith Lanier Turner and son Gerald Wayne Turner, and sister Francis Binswanger.

Bill was a devoted husband to Edith for 57 years and loving dad, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Bill was a retired Navy Chief and served in both WWII and Korea Wars.

Bill and Edith spent their retirement years visiting family, playing bridge, going on cruises, and enjoying watching their grandchildren grow into adults.

Bill was known for his quick wit and for being the steady rock of the family throughout his life. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends, but all find comfort knowing he is once again with his sole mate and son in heaven.
