Sandra Tucker Turner passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loving family. Sandra devoted 43 years of service to the Farm Service Agency, where she faithfully served the farmers of Giles County—a community and people she deeply respected throughout her career. In her personal time, she had a joy for reading and she recently discovered a true passion for colored pencil drawings, a creative joy she cherished. Above all else, Sandra was a devoted and loving mother whose family was her greatest joy.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, William Joe “Johnny” Turner; her son, Joey Turner and his wife Allison; her daughter, Jana Gusman and her husband Todd; and her four cherished grandchildren: Will Turner, Rob Turner, Reily Gusman, and Emersyn Gusman. She is also survived by her cousin, Janice Curtis, along with many dear friends.
Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, Giles Edmundson Tucker and Roberta Powell Tucker, as well as her parents-in-law, John Will Turner and Edith M. Turner.
