Our kind and beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Betty Jean Rees Chappell Turner, age 82, died on November 18, 2008 in Glenwood, Utah.
She was born July 9, 1926 in Loa, Utah, a daughter of Parley and Mandy Melvina Bastian Rees. She married Don Austin Chappell on July 15, 1946 in the Manti LDS Temple. He died on March 29, 1994. She married William Alphonzo Turner on April 7, 2001 in Manti, Utah.
Betty will be remember for her love, her kindness and always putting other before herself; keeping a neat and clean home, where all were welcomed.
