LINDA MAE TURNER

Posted

Linda Mae Brooks Moore Turner, age 56, beloved wife and partner of 23 years to John Wendell Turner, died on Thursday, July 26, 2018, in Columbia, Montana.

Born in Iowa, she was the daughter of the late John Brooks and Marie Brooks. Linda graduated from Kent State University in Ohio. She became a registered nurse and worked for Palmetto Health Tuomey for more than 25 years. Her true joy in life was spending time with her family, especially her three grandchildren. She was given the name "NeNe" by her adoring grandbabies. She was passionate about horses, nature and her God. The Great Adventure Fellowship Horse Riding Club helped her find her way and created friendships that grew with each ride. Linda lived life to the fullest, enjoying scuba diving, kayaking, boating, ATV riding, camping with her horses and relaxing at the beach. She will be remembered as a very loving wife, mother, NeNe, sister and friend. Her feisty, loving spirit brightened many lives, and she will be dearly missed.

Loving family members missing her are: one daughter, Erica Rikki Lynn Moore, and her loving companion, Jerry Niles, of Sumter; one brother, John David Brooks and his wife, Helen, of Biloxi, Misssippi; four sisters, Mary Lou Brooks of Sumter, Tracey Redmon Lyall and her husband, Jim, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Carol Clemens and Rose Marie Cormeny, both of Centerville, Iowa; three grandchildren, Zachary Niles Moore, Xander Niles Moore and Skyler Niles Moore; and her chosen sister, Shirley Fink. She will also be missed by her two devoted puppies, Surci and Suki, as well as her two loving horses, Rocky and Tango.

She will be joining her sister, Dian Russell, in heaven.
