Unabelle Turner Obituary


TURNER, Unabelle

Unabelle Turner, also known as Honey Grandma passed on December 19th, 2010. She was born UnaBelle Sattler, July 26th 1919, Valier Montana.
She grew up on a small farm in Newgate B.C. with her parents Ethel and Emil Sattler, and her two brothers, Adrian and Verne until they moved to Spokane after the untimely death of her mother. At age 14 UnaBelle became the homemaker for her father and two brothers. At 21 she would meet her now deceased husband Albert P. Turner and were married for 55 years. UnaBelle had a long career with the State of Washington, working at Eastern State Hospital and eventually retiring from Labor and Industries where she was the first female tax collector in the state. For her family and many friends she was the glue that bound the generations, the record keeper, the practical advice giver, best friend and caretaker. She left behind her children, Craig, Rick and Leigh Turner, her grand children, Kevin, Lisa, Jeff, Josh, James, Sam, and Sasha Turner, her great-grand- children, Stephanie, Ben, Sam, Joe, Cole, Jalyn, Aubrey, Olivia, Carson Turner, Alaina Larsen and Brain and Jason Duncun, her great-great- grandchildren, Zoe and Ezra Swenson, Evan and Christian Larsen, and Ethen Turner. We all know without her none of us would be here. Of all the billions of people on earth we are so blessed that it was UnaBelle Turner that we became a part of. "To know even one life has breathed easier because you lived, that is to have succeeded". Mom, honey grandma, you had a very successful life. Thank you for being you. "Celebration of life" party for UnaBelle will be on Saturday July 30th in Spokane, for further details please email [email protected].
