February 19, 1947 - April 27, 2025
It is with Profound sadness that we inform you of the passing of our mom, Bev Turner, at the age of 78, on April 27, 2025, in Leduc AB.
Mom was born in Rutland BC, February 19, 1947, the second daughter of Joe and June Buresh. A loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she lived a life full of love, kindness, generosity, hard work, sports and dance.
Mom grew up in the orchards on Hartman hill where her dad Joe had a house moving company. After graduating from Rutland High School in 1964, Mom moved to Salmon Arm to help her parents run their bowling center J Lanes, and in 1965 she met our father, Ewan Turner. Cheryl was born in 1966 and Scott in 1968 and together we moved as a family to Merritt, BC in 1974 where they purchased Nicolanes Bowling Center.
After their separation, Mom moved back to Salmon Arm and started a new career working for Cindy Derkatz law firm and then Brooke, Jackson, Downs. During her time at Brooke, Jackson, Downs, Mom moved to Lake Country, BC and soon found the commute to be too much. At that time, she took up a position with FHP Lawyers in 麻豆精选, where after several happy years she finished her career.
Demetia found Mom in 2014 and yet she managed to live on her own until 2020, at which point she moved to Leduc, AB with her daughter and son-in-law.
Bev is survived by her daughter, Cheryl and Wilf Brandt of Leduc, AB and Cheryl's sons, Justin Kay, Cameron, Rebecca & Layton Kay, and Cody Kay. As well as her son Scott & Amanda Turner of 麻豆精选, BC and their sons Liam and Chae.
Mom was predeceased by her parents, Joe (1977) and June (2013) Buresh and her Sister and Brother-in-law, Shannon (2013) and Maynard (2017) Campbell.
A Gathering of Remembrance will be held at 1:00pm on August 30, 2025, at Bowers Funeral Service, 440 - 10th Street SW, Salmon Arm, BC.
Donations may be made to your local youth sport association.
