About
Katherine Turner Obituary
KT was a dedicated and compassionate Physician Assistant. Her commitment to caring for others was evident throughout her professional life.
She was an avid horseback rider; a passion that saw her spending many joyful hours on trails and in arenas. Her love for the outdoors extended to camping, kayaking, and hunting. She also enjoyed the thrill of dirt track racing, embracing the excitement and camaraderie of the community.
KT is survived by her children, Justin (fiancé Kelsey Mayne) Elizabeth, and Eric Turner. Her brothers, Jim (Nikki) and Michael (Susan) and many aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Florence Beres, and her sister, Janice Beres.
In her final act of generosity, KT became an organ donor, helping 80 lives with her selfless choice. Her legacy of compassion and kindness continues to live on through the lives she saved as a PA and a donor.
A celebration of life will be held at the Avon Isle from 4-8 PM on Thursday August 8th. 37080 Detroit Road Avon, Ohio 44011. In Lieu of flowers, please make any donations to Angels Haven Horse Rescue. https://angelshavenhorserescue.org

KT was a one of a kind person. From the day I met her she never stopped showing my sister and I support. She personally had hauled her horse to our place so my sister could learn English riding. She would always go to the fairgrounds when it came to fair. She even brought her camper once and when us 4-H kids were tired she let us nap in it. She was brave, she took 3 teenagers to Gettysburg all because we wanted to go and she thought it would be fun. We went ghost hunting, seen so many monuments, and got lots of great photos. We tried strawberries in marshmallow fluff and roasted them over the fire. It was messy for sure. She will be dearly missed.

KT..my beloved coworker, friend, mentor and biggest supporter. I would not be half the nurse I am today without you, you believed in me when I couldn´t believe in myself. One day we are talking about how excited you are for my wedding and the next day you´re gone. I will miss your advice, words of encouragement, the clicks of your cowboy boots and your stories about whiskey pup. How can the world be so cruel to take away such an incredible human like you. Forever loved, missed and in my heart.
Fly high KT, until we meet again.

KT was introduced to me by Kelsey Mayne. I was always amazed at the amount of kindness and energy she possessed. Always willing to donate her time to the younger kids at the barn as well as any one that would need her help. She will be missed greatly.

KT. I know you will be missed by so many! I only got to know you through the Emergency Department working perhaps one to two shifts together. You talked so much about your family and loved ones. You also enjoyed many activities including your passion and enthusiasm for horses. You seemed to smile so happily when talking about them. I was impressed by your dedication and clinical experience in the ER. Heck, you even gave me a tip or two about taking care of kids and patients....lol together... We will truly miss you and all the rest of the ER staff!
Take best of care and rest peacefully.....

KT was a special soul from the moment I met her she was so welcoming and kind always there when I needed a hand. She was there when I needed wounds cleaned up or when I broke my foot. She was such a beautiful human being and it's a great loss for everyone!

KT and I both did our first Western Pleasure Show together a few weeks ago and entered a class together. It was age gap and we both got 3rd place together out of a large group. I was so proud of us.

KT was one of the most generous and caring people I have ever known. From her professional life it very much extended into her private life. That's just who she was! Fiercely protective of her family and the best advocate for her dogs and horses. She worked hart to have the live she loved and still had so many plans to fullfill. Having it cut so short does not make any sense at all. We will miss her forever and are heartbroken.
