We lived next door to Anne and Clarence on Pimlico. Anne made certain our transition as new parents, new preacher and newcomers to Greenville was a good one. She nurtured us as a mother while at the same time was my friend and peer. Thank you for the wonderful memories Anne.

I'm very sorry to hear of Anne Turner's passing. She always had a sweet smile and made sure we talked each time I saw her. My Mom, Marguerite Glenn enjoyed the senior trips with her. She was dedicated to her church and church family.
