Nettie Gay Turner

Nettie G. Turner, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 18th, 2018, just four months shy of her 80th birthday.  She was born on April 13, 1939 in Stoystown, Pennsylvania to Charles and Gladys Evans. She married her husband of thirty years, Dwayne J Turner, in July of 1966. He preceded her in death in 1996.

Nettie's unconditional love for her children, family and friends mattered most to her and there was never a doubt that you were hers.  She never missed a chance to sing and dance to Tina Turner, enjoyed ketchup on everything, surrounded herself with flowers; her favorites being orchids, called Halloween her favorite holiday, and had Christmas twinkle lights burning bright all year round. She was known for her legendary sense of style, travels to all the Hawaiian islands and her racy red sports cars.

She is survived by her sister Gloria Beaman, daughter Jean Davis, sons Mike Turner and Scott Turner and step sons Dwight Turner (Theresa) and Kirk Halsey (Bobby); grandchildren Gena Phelps (Michael), Ryan Zagala (Kelley), Leah Rozzi and Ashley Menchaca (Junior), Katrina Hernandez (PJ) and Douglas Turner (Karah), great grandchildren Brennan and Derek Phelps, Danica and Ryley Zagala, Pedro and Gabriel Hernandez, Don and Zek Turner, niece and nephews Bobby Beaman (Annie) and children Robert and Danny, Greg Beaman (Monica) and children Gregory, Olivia and Brien, Denise Ransom (Doug) and children Kendall and Brett.

She will forever be in our hearts: our mom, sister, aunt and great gramma from the desert, in keeping her spirit with us through our treasured memories and remberences of her unconditional love.
