Bruce Turner

Bruce Allen Turner, the son of Jean Virginia and the late James Ira Turner, completed his life journey on April 14, 2014 at The House in the Pine Nursing Home in Easton, Maryland. Bruce was preceded in death by his father, James Ira Turner; a sister, Sonya; his maternal grandparents, George Henry and Beulah Mae Green; three aunts, Betty Mae Gross, Evelyn Green and Magdalene Turner; six great-aunts, Dorothy, Mildred, Frances and Gertrude Wilkins, Nora and Mary Green; eight uncles, Maurice Turner, George, James, Gordon, Wallace, Charleston, Ronald and Donald Green and four great-uncles, Herbert, Joshua, James and Gernie Wilkins. Bruce was born on April 02, 1958. He was educated through the Queen Anne’s County Public School System. During his adult life, Bruce worked various jobs. He was employed at Friels Canary in Wye Mills; Conagra in Queenstown; Campbell Soup in Chestertown and many years with Hardees in Centreville, until his illness prevented him from working any longer. Bruce was well-liked by everyone that knew him. In spite of his illness, he was a high spirited, loving and caring person. He lived each day to its fullest. He didn’t allow his sickness to hinder him. He still displayed his funny character and his side smile with the ability to say anything and I mean anything out of his mouth that would get on his siblings nerves. He loved his family and friends and most of all his food and snacks. He would sometime share but not all the time, only when he felt like it. He would also have a problem if you touched his stuff without asking. Bruce would always catch the attention of his family and friends when he was around; especially, when he would get dressed to step out for the evening. He knew he had it going on with himself. He loved to dance and if the music was pumping, he would dance the night away. He also had a passion for playing baseball which he was good at. He will be missed dearly but never forgotten. His memory will always be in our minds and his love in our hearts. He is survived by his precious mother, Jean Virginia Turner of Queenstown, MD; two loving sisters, Iris Jean Corbin of Greensboro, NC and Shawn Benita Turner of Queenstown, MD; four brothers, James Ira Turner, Jr. and Rodney Harris (Jeanette) of Queenstown, MD and Jonathan Lee (Sharon) of Trappe, MD and Kevin Alston Turner (Lynn) of Alabama; one brother-in-law, Robert Corbin of Los Angeles, CA; one sister-in-law, Louise Turner of Cambridge, MD; one uncle, John Edmond Green of Newark, Delaware and two uncles-in-law, John Robert Gross of Grasonville, MD and Billy Reese of Dover, Delaware; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousin and friends. He also leaves a special friend, Debbie Rochester and her daughter, whom he raised as his own, Tynessha Copper and her children, Kamiyah, Cameron and Aviana.
