TURNER

Age 92, of West Northfield, Lunenburg Co., died peacefully at home on Saturday, April 11, 2026. 

Born in Sandy Cove, Digby Co., she was a daughter of the late Sydney Lambert and Edna Genevieve (Bruce) Gidney.

GG had many enjoyments over the years – playing cards, Toronto Blue Jays, and the daily puzzles from the newspaper. She was especially fond of her grandchildren and great grandchildren stopping by for a game of any kind. Anybody that knew GG, knew that she was very competitive when it came to crib, and if you stopped by for a visit when an intense game was happening, you might as well go home and come back for a visit another time. GG also enjoyed spending time sitting on the deck looking out on Lake Mush-a-Mush, listening to the loons and watching the boats go by. GG was also very proud of her very extensive library where she spent many hours reading and organizing books.

GG was a member of St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, West Northfield; member of the Bridgewater Legion; past member of the Dorcas Sewing Circle and Bridgewater Rifle Club. GG was also active in the family business for 70 years right up until her passing.

Surviving is her daughter-in-law, Heather Turner, Sweetland; grandchildren, Krista (Mark) Wilson, Natasha (Jason) Cottreau, Mark (Tracy) Zinck, Brent (Erin) Zinck, Erin (Charles) Joudrey; great-grandchildren, Kaleigh Wilson, Winston Wilson, Ethan Zinck, Carly Zinck, Harrison Cottreau; and brother, James “Jimmy” Gidney, St. Stephen, NB. GG was predeceased by her husband, Harris Turner; daughter, Karen Zinck; and son, John (Jackie) Turner.

Funeral service was held 2 p.m., Friday, April 17, 2026 in St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, West Northfield, with Rev. Annette Smith and Rev. Catherine Robar officiating. Interment was in the Maple Grove Cemetery, West Northfield.

Thank you all for thinking of us, praying for us, and offering comfort in so many ways. Special thanks to Rollie, Tabatha, and Jeanette for helping in many ways to assure GG was comfortable in her home. It is in times of grief that true friendship shines.

Heather, Krista, and Natasha.
