Breana Turner Obituary

Breana Turner CONCORD Breana Versen Turner, 36, of 408 Riverwalk Drive, died Tuesday, June 21, 2011, at Duke University Hospital. Breana was a daughter of Joe L. Versen and Terri NaabVersen. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church. Breana taught Sunday school and attened Epworth United Methodist Church in Concord. She worked as a Concord Early Intervention Specialist. Breana grew up, well to almost 5' up in York. Little 'B' may have been short in stature, but there were none LARGER in spirit and heart. Breana was a cheerleader at and graduated from Y.C.H.S. She then attended and graduated from the University of South Carolina, where she and Randy met and fell in love. She was an ardent Gamecock fan, but loved her Clemson friends as well. Breana had a calling to help people. As proof of her desire to be of help and service to humanity, Breana had recently founded "Concord Early Intervention", a service working with 'at risk' children in the Concord area. Not only was this her profession, it allowed her the flexibility of being with her children to nurture their growth. Breana loved her family and home. Her home was a special place for constant family interaction with Randy and the boys. Her actions in the last months have been an exemplary show of courage which served as an inspiration to all. It is safe to say that Breana leaves a legacy as a devoted mother; a loving wife, daughter, sister and as a true friend. She is survived by her husband of 11 years, Randy Turner, of Concord; three sons, Bryce, Drew, and Carson; her parents, Joe and Terri Versen; her husband's parents, Bob and Debbie Turner, and her sister, Staci Rampey and her husband, Chip. Visitation will be held at Trinity United Methodist Church, Trinity Center on Saturday, June 25, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The funeral will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, at Trinity United Methodist Church. The Revs. Eugene L. Feagin, Glenn Myers, and Jim Correll will be officiating. The burial will be held at Rose Hill Cemetery. Following the burial a celebration of Breana's life will be held at 744 Tee Box Ct., York, SC Carolina Crossing. Memorials may be made to Bethematch.com or Lukemia Lymphoma Society South Carolina Chapter at 1247 Lake Murray Blvd., Irmo, SC 29063. Bratton Funeral Home in York, S.C. is serving the Turner family.

There are no words to express the sorrow we feel for your family
at such a difficult time. We know the battle for Breana was long
And difficult. It is so hard to lose a loved one, but when all their
Pain and suffering is gone and the days and weeks and months
Of your lives start to get back on track, you will remember Breana and not her illness. Just what a loving daughter & mother & sister
She was. You will remember all the joy & love she brought.
God is good!
