Susan Dawn Duncan Turley, aged 52, passed away on May 1, 2013 at the University of Utah Medical Center from complications due to a long-term illness. Susan was born on September 29, 1960, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the daughter of Donald and Mona Duncan.
Susan led a very active childhood excelling at ballet, basketball, and volleyball. Her days were spent playing with her siblings and always, always, make believing. Susan graduated from Harry Ainlay High School and attended Brigham Young University and the University of Alberta. She played basketball for the latter and graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing.
In 1981, after obeying the wishes of President Spencer W. Kimball to wait for a certain missionary, Susan and Jeffrey Turley were sealed for Time and All Eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple.
Fulfilling her most cherished calling, Susan was blessed with four children who often say that they would be nothing without their angel mother. Her whole happiness in life revolved around her husband, children, and 8 grandchildren. She was devoted, doting, and divine.
Susan was extremely talented and immensely creative. She was inspiring to those around her in so many ways. Her hands and feet, however tiring, never ceased in service to others.
During her last days, many friends and family flocked to be with Susan, as she was always there for them. On her final day, her children surrounded her in love, and her adoring husband held her hand as she passed.
Join us as we raise our glass of Strawberry milk, for Susan is finally at rest with her Heavenly Father.
