ROANOKE-Winnie Wade Turner passed away Thursday, October 9, 2003 in Manassas. Early in life, she came to
believe that Bible study and Christian education would improve the world. She received her education from Willis
High School and graduated from Viaud High School in Roanoke. She completed ten classes at the Roanoke Center
of the University of Richmond Off-Campus School of Christian Studies. She was instrumental in the university tooffer a special class in Roanoke, called "Poetical and Wisdom Books of the Old Testaments," and she also recruited
members for that class. Dr. George M. Modlin, Past President of the University, came to Roanoke and presented her
certificate. She had a strong belief that God has an answer to all needs and problems and she shared this word with
others. As a child, she memorized long passages of scripture and as an adult she never forgot them. She loved
people, it was her greatest joy to be a blessing to others and see others grow in Grace. Her favorite scripture was
John 14:27. She served six years on the committee of the Roanoke Valley Baptist Association. She was a member of
the Garden City Baptist Church, where she taught the historical background of the Bible and also at Mount PleasantBaptist Church where she was a former member. She taught a Sunday School class at Garden City Baptist. She wasPresident of the WMU (Women's Missionary Union) at Garden City Baptist Church.
She was dedicated to her family, church, and community.
She was a daughter of Levi Berdine Wade and Julia Ann Cox Wade, who lived in Willis, and are buried in the
Greasy Creek Church Cemetery.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry F. Turner, Sr.; three brothers, Kerry, Verman, and Galen Wade;
three sisters, Reva W. Williams, Mae W. Dickerson, and Ima W. Wade.
