Kathryn L. Turner was born Sept. 18, 1937, to Claus and Helen (Henrichs) Larsen in Sibley, Iowa. She was baptized Jan. 17, 1957, at Reformed Church in America at Little Rock, Iowa. She was united in marriage to Leslie Roy Turner on June 8, 1957, at Salem Reform Church parsonage in Little Rock, Iowa. After their wedding in Little Rock, Kathy's hometown, the couple moved to Cedar Falls where Les attended the Iowa State Teachers College (University of Northern Iowa) to complete his education degree. While in Cedar Falls, the couple was blessed with their first child, Laurene.
Employment with the Osage Community School District brought the family to Osage, where two more children, Rodney and Raymond, were born. The Turners lived in the Osage and Little Cedar area until 1967, when they moved to Hawkeye, Iowa, in order for Kathy to complete her bachelor's degree at Upper Iowa University. In 1969, both Les and Kathy obtained teaching positions with the St. Ansgar School District, where she was St. Ansgar School District librarian for 10 years. On Dec. 9, 1998, Kathy moved into Good Samaritan Society, St. Ansgar. She was an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan. She was preceded in death by her parents and daughter Laurene.
