In Celebration of

Beryl Audrey Oke Turner (née Nation)

TURNER, Beryl Audrey Oke (née Nation)
On May 29, 2017 in Ottawa at the Edinburgh Retirement Residence. Beloved wife and soulmate of Vernon. Cherished auntie of Bob, Peter, Thea, Michael and Sarah. Beryl was the last of her generation of the Nation Clan. She will be fondly remembered by all of them as well as by Vernon’s cousins in Canada and England. Bright and beautiful, Beryl enjoyed good books, good music and the company of close friends. She was a perceptive and at times witty observer of life who inspired affection and admiration. In the face of adversity, Beryl was stoic and quietly slipped away. Private interment at Beechwood Cemetery has taken place. A celebration of life event will be arranged. Tributes may be sent via www.beechwoodottawa.ca

Very saddened to see in Victoria's Times Colonist the news of Beryl's death.
I fondly remember Beryl and Vern's warm welcome when I arrived in Ottawa in 1971. Beryl and her beloved brother John, who was my father's professional partner shared some wonderful traits: great charm, warmth and wit. Deepest sympathies to Vern and the younger generation of the Nation clan.

Dear Vern: We were saddened by the news of Beryl's demise on Monday, 29 May 2017. We enjoyed our many informal chats with her whenever we met you both at a NAC concert over many years. Beryl always had a friendly smile while conversing with us about our holidays, our health problems or the concert to be enjoyed. We will miss her at future concerts. May your family and friends provide you with strength and hope to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

Sincerely,

Sharleen & Dick 3 June 2017
