Geraldine Turner

PRINCETON - Geraldine Elaine Turner, 82, of Princeton, went to her forever home on Sunday, April 21, 2024, after a long illness. Born September 23, 1941, in Bluefield, she was the daughter of the late James E. Taylor and Veda Lusk Taylor. Her favorite hobbies were reading her Bible, spending time with friends and family, and sharing her testimony with others. She loved serving the Lord. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Jimmy Bennett; her second husband, Jerry Turner with whom she said she spend the best years of her life; two daughters, Kathy Bennett, and Patricia Bennett; two sons, James (JB) Bennett, and William (Willie) Bennett; six brothers; and four sisters. Those left to grieve her loss are children, Veda Odle of Marion, VA, Roger Bennett and wife Becky of Athens, Mark Bennett and wife Robin of Princeton, Gary Bennett of Princeton and Eddie Bennett of Matoaka; four grandchildren who she raised as her own; 13 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; and her sister, her last living sibling, Margaret McKinney of Princeton. Her son, Gary, was her primary caretaker for years preceding her death. His love and dedication are greatly appreciated and acknowledged by all of her children. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the kindness and care their mom received as a resident of Seneca Trails Healthcare Center in Lewisburg. The staff was so loving and compassionate during the family’s time of need. They would also like to acknowledge how thankful they are for Bro. Larry Ashby and wife Debbie for all the times they visited their mom at her home for worship and Bible study services. When she was unable to attend church, the Ashby’s brought the church to her. Their expression of love was priceless to the family. Funeral Services will be conducted at 1:00 p.m. Monday, April 29, 2024 at the Bailey-Kirk Funeral Home in Princeton with Bro. Larry Ashby officiating. Entombment will follow at the Resthaven Memorial Park Mausoleum in Princeton. The family will receive friends Monday, April 29, 2024 from noon until the service hour at the Bailey-Kirk Funeral Home in Princeton.
