It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Yvonne Rose Turnbull. On May 31, 2015, surrounded by family, Yvonne died peacefully. Her final days were spent at the An Cala unit of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, where she received wonderful care. She was 61 years old.
Yvonne was born & raised in East Bay & later moved to Glace Bay, where she settled and raised her family.
Yvonne was predeceased by her mother, Angelina Angell; father, William Shelley and stepfather, Robert Angell.
Yvonne was the quintessential homemaker. A born nurturer, she lived to take care of others, and always put herself last. As a young teenager, she helped to raise her siblings, and then went on to raise her own large family. When her own children were starting to grow up, she became a foster parent, and helped rear countless infants & young children. Caring for others was her passion. She loved to cook and bake and was rarely seen without a mop or broom in hand.
Yvonne is survived by her husband of 36 years, Kenneth G. Turnbull; sons, John (Wanda) Turnbull, Jason (Cathy) Turnbull, Kyle (Ashley) Turnbull and Jordan Turnbull. Stepson, Richard Turnbull. Daughters, Holly (Darren) White, Tara (Jason) Williams. Yvonne was the proud grandmother of 13 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
She is also survived by siblings, Eric (Bev) Shelley, Percy (Flossie) Shelley, Calvin Shelley, Rita (Bernie) Boutilier, & Josephine (Paul) Prince.
Funeral arrangements are under the care and guidance of Curry's Glace Bay Funeral Home, 775 Main St. A funeral service will be held on Friday, June 5, 2015 at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel with Fr. Leo Boone officiating.
If desired, donations in Yvonne's memory may be made to a charity of choice.
