Preppie was the big sister and friend everyone wanted. She looked after me while my Mom was alive and after. As a Nurse at the hospital, she was always making sure I wasn’t listening to everything Dode told me to say. She was the most fun to tease and always had mischievous side. She made sure Aunt Fern took care of my Mom while driving to country schools. She had the most loving heart. She truly cherished her brothers and their families. She talked about her kids all the time. I am so glad she got to meet my daughters last May. They had heard stories but she told them many more. I am truly sorry for the loss of this great woman, she always made me feel like family.
All my love to the Turner family, Jo
