Publish in a newspaper

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jean Ellen Turner of Salisbury, MD, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Jean was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Ray, who passed in August 2016. She leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of 65 years, Calvin Turner. She had two devoted daughters, Denise Shaver and Robin Kemp. Jean was a proud grandmother of five grandchildren, Lyndsay, Joshua (Jessica), Zachary (MJ), Colleen (Jacob), and Neall. Her love extended further to her great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy. She is also survived by her sister, Gail Towers.

Jean and her husband Calvin shared a passion for camping and traveling. They cherished their winters spent in Florida and created countless memories while cruising together.

Jean will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her. Her spirit, warmth, and devotion to her family will forever remain in our hearts.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on October 1, 2025, at Wicomico Memorial Park, located on Snow Hill Road in Salisbury.
