Memories and Condolences

To the counselors at Camp Turner, Miss Joan was a true friend, grandmother, and confidant. You always had something to talk about and left her porch feeling better than when you stepped on to it.
To the campers, Miss Joan was magic. She could soothe the harshest wound with her deep concern, a little aloe, and a green rolaid.
I treasured corresponding with Joan when we were away from camp and feel privileged to share in her love of the natural world, Allegany, her family, and her many pets.

Looking back I have many great memories of the times we spent together at camp and after. Miss Joan always had a story to share. She warmed the hearts of many campers and staff members. We will all miss her dearly.

Camp Turner Song
Tell me why the stars do shine.
Tell me why the grove of pine.
Tell me why the sky so blue.
Tell me Camp Turner why we all love you.
Because God made the stars to shine.
Because God made the grove of pine.
Because God made the sky so blue.
That’s why Camp Turner we all love you.
