Racine – On Tuesday March 12, 2024, Susan Turner, loving wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, passed away at the age of 77. Susan was born on February 16, 1947, in Racine, to Arthur and Mary (née Peck) Greer.
Sue was a dedicated SC Johnson employee of 40 years who wouldn’t miss a chance at overtime. She was devoted to her faith, a parishioner at St. Edwards 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, 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.
Sue was preceded in death by her parents Arthur and Mary; dear husband; Pete Turner; sister; Marianne Hall; and son-in-law, Bryan Prochnow. She 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.
The celebration of Sue’s life will be held at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home on Thursday March 21, 2024. Visitation hours are 11:00AM-1:00PM and services at 1:00PM. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Sue, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
“A Letter From Heaven”
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much I love you,
And each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me, I don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

Praying for your family
Gus and Sandy Antonneau says
Sue’s little quiet giggle will always remain in our hearts and minds. As hard as Gus tried he never did get Sue to ride on our boat so when we meet again I can guarantee he will try to convince Sue that the water is flat so we can go for a ride and Sue will giggle and say not today. We are in Florida and will not be able to help celebrate Sue’s life,but you are in our thoughts and prayers

Ann Kerscher says
I can’t even begin to list the many wonderful memories that I have of Sue, since I met her and over the years. I miss her every day. One memory I might mention though is playing Jenga with her at White Lake. She disagreed with the notion that the object of the game should be to make the next person topple the tower. She said we should work as a team to build as high a tower as we could, working as a team. That was Sue.
Sandi Martin says
Sue was my best bowling buddy; maybe because we were both left handed. She will be missed by many. I send my sympathy to her family.

To the Turner and Greer family:
Tom and I were deeply saddened to learn of Sue’s passing.
A beautiful and gracious lady she was. In all aspects of her life, she was a kind, giving and loving person. We enjoyed spending time with her and Pete before and after we had the restaurant. We looked forward to seeing them walk in the door on weekends and for Packer games. To watch Pete and Blanca banter back and forth have her many, many laughs because it was a rare moment that he could get one over on Blanca.
They will now take care of their families from above. We will miss all the love and laughter we shared with them.
