It is with great sadness that we announce the death of former Almshouse Association Head of Member Services, Sue Turner.
Our good friend and coworker passed away last night; her husband Tim has sent us this message...
Tonight at around 8pm Sue passed away.
She had been fighting the illness for a long time now and in the past few weeks it became clear that the end was near. Sue certainly didn’t want her life to continue in the way she was and we know now she is in no more pain. Obviously this news is unwelcome but, it is for the greater good.
When we have more information regarding COVID-19 funeral arrangements we will distribute them. Thank you for all the support you’ve given Sue, and the whole family, in the past year. It has been and will continue to be appreciated.
Tim, Adam, Laura & Leon Turner
Here at the Association, we have been missing Sue since December 19 when she retired from the Almshouse Association after 18 years of dedicated and passionate service to our members who she felt so close to and worked tirelessly to support and guide. Her dedication to the Association and knowledge of the almshouse movement was second to none and an inspiration to us all. On a personal level, we all remember Sue’s loyalty and kindness, her dry sense of humour, boundless energy, passion for travel and good wine and the joy and love she felt for her family. She will be so very sadly missed by us all and we all send our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends at this saddest of time.
