Martha A. TURNAGE

Dear Barbara, Russell and Chip,
I have already send a message to Sherrod so I'll just say I'm so sorry to lose your mother. It is a constant reminder of a passing generation and I will think of her often and miss her. I wish there had been a time to visit but the time that we thought we would get together there was flu epidemic at Chambrel and there was no visitation from anyone outside.
I have seen Russell at the art shows but I think of all of your so often and wish we could...

Barbara, Rad, Lona, Zora, Paul and Little Leo: What a remarkable woman, Martha Turnage, was and how accomplished. This is the kind of legacy every parent wants to leave their children and grandchildren. Work hard, accept little, meet the challenges head on and make a difference in the lives of others. Our love and respect, Judy and Dave D.

"Through the children you can perceive their parents". How true that statement is: even though we never met mrs. Turnage, we can imagine what a caring mother she was, since we´ve known her daughter, Barbara, for quite some time now.
We want to express our deepest sympathy, not only to Barbara, but to the whole family.

My mother was a fellow resident of Martha's at Chambrel for 8 years and Martha attended my church. It was a pleasure to see Martha at Chambrel and church. She was kind to my mother, who was much older, and I am grateful. Maynard Randolph

Martha Turnage was an inspiration to many of us. I met her through her daughter, Sherrod, when she invited us to spend time at MECC to develop a children's theatre presentation as part of the arts network there. I learned much from her and send condolences to her family. Karen Newtzie

John and I want to express how sorry we are to learn of Martha's sudden passing. Her many personal and professional accomplishments confirm what a keen student of life she was, having lived it so very well. May Martha's great energy and loving spirit warm you forever.
Love,
Mary Jo & John McHugh

Martha was a beloved colleague and friend at George Mason and elsewhere. We will miss her energy, intellect, and, most of all, her friendship.

We send our condolences to all the family.
