She is survived by her partner of over 30 years, Kevin Turner, her baby dog, Shelby Blaze Sutton; her son, Joey Turner of Tupelo; her granddaughter, Isla Turner of Covington, TN; her sisters, Anita Bishop and Marlean Bounds of Sumrall; her brother, Randell Sutton Sr. of Hattiesburg, and a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins, and the red apron gang.
