Obituary for Susan Mary Turner

February 16, 1947 – March 12, 2024

On Tuesday March 12, 2024, Susan Mary Turner, loving wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, passed away at the age of 77. Susan was born on Feb. 16, 1947, in Racine, to Arthur and Mary (née Peck) Greer.

Sue was a dedicated S.C. Johnson employee of 40 years who wouldn’t miss a chance at overtime. She was devoted to her faith, a parishioner at St. Edward Church, and rarely missed attending services even while on vacation.

Sue was a beautiful lady who had a quiet strength and a positive influence on many.

Sue had impeccable taste in home décor and clothing – always looking sharp. She kept an incredibly clean home and beautiful garden. She liked bowling and golf, and was an avid shopper.

Sue was committed to her husband and family. Sue and Pete celebrated 50 years of marriage before his passing. Monday night tacos, a tradition she carried on from her mother, was something to look forward to for family and close friends.

Sue and Pete had many friends, enjoying Christmas brunches, Harbor Lite Yacht Club events and Tichigan Lake parties. They annually met with friends at Fence Lake and with other snowbirds in Florida.

Susan Mary Turner is survived by her brother, William Greer (Karen); sister, Peggy Klokow (Sue); children, Tom Turner (Mera), Scott Turner (Karla), Marcy Prochnow; and grandchildren, Bryanna Prochnow, Turner Prochnow, Grace Turner, and Jo Jo.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Mary; dear husband, Pete Turner; sister, Marianne Hall; and son-in-law, Bryan Prochnow.
