Ruth Elaine Turner

Ruth was born in Brownsboro, Kentucky, in July 1928, to Herman and Janie Noel. She moved to Florida until her first husband (Fred Lane, II) passed away. She then went to Adult education to receive her high school diploma to support her children. A few years later, she moved back to Kentucky to serve as her mother’s caregiver. After her mother passed, she returned to Florida and eventually married Wilson Turner on May 6, 1972. They shared many happy years, until his passing in October 2018. She also served as a caregiver with Wilson to Wilson’s brother (Bob) and his wife (Nita) until they passed.

Ruth is survived by her son, Fred Lane, III; daughter, Margaret Daly; granddaughters, Cherie Hatley (husband Brian), Tracie Lipscomb (husband Randee); grandson, (Sean Daly); her sister, Mary McKinney, as well as many nieces and nephews.

She is also survived by three stepsons: Jerry Turner (wife-Mary predeceased), grandchildren: Gary, Carey (predeceased), and Shawn; Jimmy Turner (predeceased), widow (Shelley) and granddaughter (Sarah) and Jody Turner (wife Ranee) and granddaughter (Courtenay), grandson (Trent-predeceased).

She is predeceased in death by her brothers, Robert J. Noel (wife Mary Margaret) and Leonard Noel (wife Stella); in addition to her sister, Martha.

Her favorite hobbies were: Gardening, painting, reading, and cooking. Her true happiness came from spoiling her grandchildren; she served as a caregiver to her grandson, Sean Daly, while his mother worked. She took great joy in sewing clothes for her grandchildren and making dolls for them. The grandchildren’s favorite memory of Ruth was of her cooking several different kinds of cookies around Christmas time when they came to visit. They would always look for a huge glass pig in which she placed the cookies.

Her favorite hymns were Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Blessed Assurance, The Old Rugged Cross and I Surrender All. She was a true caregiver to anyone in need.

God has received another angel and all who knew her have lost one.

There will be no funeral services.
