I loved running into Cathy every time I was home visiting. Almost every year at Christmas time we would have our Meig's run-in reunion and her energy was always infectious! She will be missed.

I didn't have the honor of meeting Mrs. Turner, but wish I could have. I loved hearing Dr.Turner tell of her exploits rescuing animals. You could tell that she was the love of his life. She will be missed by many people. My sympathy to the entire family & many friends

I thoroughly enjoyed the time that I spent working with Dr. Turner and Cathy in Maysville. They both were so wonderful to me during the birth of my first child. I also enjoyed getting to practice by babysitting for them with their 3 wonderful children. Cathy always had a smile on her face.

I first met Cathy when I was asked to judge a speech and debate contest at Tahlequah HS 'way back in the 70s. She was a student and a leader in that program as she was in many fields thereafter. We knew and loved her parents also, and we want to extend our sympathy to her surviving family members. Cathy was a light that won't be dimmed by time.

Some of my best memories are of the times spent working for Dr. Turner & Cathy in Maysville and Ada, babysitting their 3 sweet children, and sharing moments of life with them for almost thirty years. I wish there were words to tell how incredible Cathy was. Beautiful. Genuine and generous. Somehow, giving away her strength only energized her and made her stronger. Elegant without even trying. Radiant. Graceful and merciful. Cheerful even in difficulty, her stories of stopping roadside to give way to morning sickness were hilarious. Her wisdom and insight, remarkable. As a new mom, I asked her best advice. She said, "Never underestimate the power you have over your children." She was the kind of mother who related to her three children in their growing stages of life, and if you know Austin, Sarah, and Molly then you know the loving, intelligent, and exceptional people she and Randy raised. Cathy's and Randy's is a true love story, how they interacted with and honored each other. Once at the office, Randy was telling us staff the story of how they met. His eyes lit up with the details then he looked down at his arms and said, "Wow, I've got goose bumps." And he did. I'm so thankful for Cathy. Her legacy is immeasurable. I cherish every moment, every story, every bit of her life she lavished on me.
