Carolyn Turner, 77 of Valdosta, transitioned unexpectedly, on Friday, June 7th, 2024, at the Holly Hill Nursing Home, where she had gone, temporarily, to rebuild her strength after a short hospital stay. Mrs. Turner spent many years of her life dedicated to the food service industry,17 of those years she worked for the military, ensuring our soldiers were fed; she then worked for the Department of Corrections for another 7 years. As her final act before retiring, she graciously opened her home to adults with special needs and later to foster children. As a woman of strength and resilience, Carolyn always rose above any challenges she was faced with in life. 

She leaves behind her son, W. Douglas Turner of San Diego, CA; brother, George Copeland and Tereatha of Valdosta, GA; brother John L. Copeland and Theola of Nashville, TN; brother, Jeffery Crawford of Smyrna, TN, and a host of other relatives, friends, acquaintances, and honorary grandchildren whom she loved deeply.
