Lillian Marie Turner, of Spring Valley Lake CA, passed away at the age of 90 on January 6, 2016. She was in her daughter's home surrounded by her loving family at the time of her passing. Lillian, known as "Nonnie" by most, was born in 1925 in Clayton, Oklahoma. With her mother, 3 sisters and 1 brother, she relocated and settled in Southern California when she was 15. Within months, she met and married the love of her life, Coy Lee Turner. They were married 61 years before Coy (known as "Pappy" by his family) passed in 2002. During their marriage, their family grew beginning with 4 children- Ricky Turner (who passed away in 2000), Linda Turner Carpenter, Randy Turner, and Venus Turner Nelson. Nonnie had 12 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren and 5 great, great grandchildren. She was dearly loved and treasured by all who met her. Nonnie was full of life and loved to laugh. She found great pleasure in dancing, sewing and crafting. Nonnie was well known as a jokester. She loved both playing practical jokes and telling jokes. What Nonnie loved most of all, was being with her family. She always had a special connection with the youngest members of the family, and they all love their Nonnie so much. Both Nonnie and her husband were active members in the Spring Valley Lake Community where she served on the Spirit Committee for several years. On Nonnie's 90th birthday, she was asked by one of her grandchildren, "What is the key to a long and happy life?" Without hesitation, Nonnie responded, "to always be surrounded by your family and your loved ones. They are what has kept me happy for all these years". Services will be held on Wednesday, January 13th at 11:00 a.m. at Sunset Hills Memorial Park. 24000 Waalew Road, Apple Valley, CA.
