Adoringly known as a sister, mother, wife, and friend, Cheryl Mae Turbett passed away Thursday, June 27th, 2024, at Good Shepard Hospice. In her final days, her family came to visit her and sang her songs to help comfort her and share their love with her.
Cheryl’s mother and father, the late George and Evelyn Carlson, welcomed her into the world on June 25th, 1946, in Chicago, IL. She completed high school and earned her bachelor’s degree in education.

The Turbett family moved around the country and grew together, bringing their four children into the world. Cheryl and Dwight have been residents of Highlands County since 2018.
Her loved ones remember her as a musical woman who loved the water. You could often find Cheryl playing the piano and singing with her family and at church. She loved being a pastor’s wife and giving love to her children and grandchildren. In her free time, Cheryl enjoyed exercising and swimming in the pool with her friends, going to the beach, and boating on the lake.
Cheryl is survived by her husband, Dwight Turbett; her children Kari (Ted), Marit (Brad), and Sean (Becky) of Michigan; and her siblings, Gail (Paul), Priscilla (Rich), and sister-in-law Connie Carlson. She has ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her son Timothy, her sibling Gerry Carlson, and her parents George and Evelyn Carlson.
