Margaret TURNER Obituary

My family moved to Drummond from the UK in the early 60´s for my Dad to work with Turner Brothers Builders. The support we received from the Turner family and in particular, the friendship that developed between Margaret and my mother was hugely impactful on us settling in Drummond - Mum said she would never have coped without Margaret and the wonderful, kind, caring and generous person that she was. On behalf on my family, please accept our most sincere condolences on the passing of a true lady.

John, Guy, Michael & families my sincere condolences in the passing of aunty Margaret, RIP

I remember some great holidays spent at Aunty Margaret and Uncle Lin's house in Drummond, building the tree-house, playing billiards and riding a horse (very badly!!) in the back paddock. My condolences to John, Guy, Michael and families.

While not unexpected the reality of Margaret´s passing hits painfully. She claimed to be blessed and happy in life and she was but equally Margaret shared love, joy, blessing and warm welcome to all she met. It was a joy to listen as she made music fly from the piano and an honour to have shared 12 years with her as her Minister.

I pray her love for life and people and her God will continue to inspire her family and friends.

Aunty Margaret set the highest standards for us all to follow and Her prodigious memory for all things family was beyond compare. Big hugs to John, Guy, Michael and families.

Thinking of you all at this sad time as your farewell your dear Mother who I feel privileged to have know . Such a beautiful and positive lady who will be very missed.

It was a privilege to know Margaret. She was generous, thoughtful and wise and a mentor to many in the Drummond district. John, Guy and Michael you had a wonderful mother and she will be remembered fondly.

Many happy memories at the house in Drummond.
Last time I saw Aunty Margaret was at my Dad's memorial in 2016 in Nelson.
Condolences to John, Guy and Michael and their families.

Mrs Turner was a very much loved loyal friend of the Mark family - Joyce and Fenton - and we enjoyed many chats when Mrs Turner lived in Queenstown.
Thinking of all the Turner family.

Deep gratitude beyond words

I have very fond memories of (Miss Fisher) as we walked to school, she taught me about the Deciduous Trees in Memorial Avenue Drummond. I was five, and then later as Margaret Turner we all enjoyed her company as we grew older, My sympathy to all of her family. Sincerely Ellen Ballantyne née Booth.
