Marion Jack Turner was born July 14, 1938, in Santa Ana, California, to Vaughn LeTren and Fern Kemp Turner. Jack passed away peacefully Oct. 25, 2021, due to natural causes. Dad made sure we all knew he had a wonderful life. He enjoyed his childhood growing up in Tooele and had so many stories that he enjoyed sharing. Jack enjoyed many occupations throughout his life, but being the Fuller Brush man was one of his favorites.
Jack married Phyllis (Sally) Wardle July 10, 1954; sealed for time and all eternity in the Logan Temple Jan. 9, 1963. Together they had ten children: Randee Giles (John), Jim (Leslie), Kristine Horrocks (Gawin), Marian Fern, Kenneth (Laura), Martha Miles (Sam), Scott, Sean (Tera), Phillip (Teresa), and Autumn Vigil (Jason); 27 grandchildren; 49 great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren.
Jack served many church callings throughout his life but serving as a stake/ward mission leader was a favorite along with being a nursery leader. His most rewarding calling was Bishop in the Carlin, Nevada, Ward. In 2012, Jack and Sally were able to serve in the Eugene Oregon Mission, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, daughter Marian, and son Jim.
