Jean Katherine (Aagaard) Turner was born in San Francisco, California, on September 22, 1924, the daughter of Viktor Munk Jensen Aagaard, a Danish immigrant, and Fay (Shepherd) Aagaard, a transplant from upstate New York. Jean spent her youth in San Francisco, attending the public schools, before moving to the Napa Valley to take nursing at the St. Helena Sanitarium (now St. Helena Adventist Hospital). Upon becoming a Registered Nurse, she moved up the hill to Angwin, California, where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education at Pacific Union College, graduating in 1950. Having lost her father in 1946, Jean moved back to San Francisco after her graduation to live with her mother and practice nursing at Kaiser, Mt. Zion, and other hospitals. She and her mother were very close, and during the next 20+ years, they traveled widely in the U.S. and overseas, including one trip that took them completely around the world. Upon the death of her mother in 1972, Jean decided to move to Ukiah, California, where her older brother, Carl Munk Jensen Aagaard, had been practicing medicine since 1955. The moving company she chose was owned by a former college classmate, Dean Turner, who, seeing her name on the schedule, decided to assign this particular move to himself. An old attraction was rekindled, and after courting for a year Dean and Jean were married in 1974. They built a home on a hillside near Dean's business in St. Helena, California, where they lived happily in warm companionship until Dean's death in 2005. Once again, Jean decided to move to be near Carl, who had since relocated to Morehead, Kentucky. She purchased a home, acquired a puppy - the much beloved, and now bereaved, 'Jett' - made new friends and became a faithful member of the Morehead Seventh-day Adventist Church. Jean went to sleep in the Lord on August 24, 2015, after a courageous fight against a long illness to which she refused to surrender. Now she waits for the sound of the last trump when she will see the One to Whom she devoted her life -- her beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ. Jean is survived by her sister-in-law, Earla G. Aagaard of Hayes Crossing and by four beloved nieces and nephews - Carla J. Aagaard Martir and Lola J. Aagaard Boram of Hayes Crossing, Victor F. M. Aagaard of Carmichael, CA, and Earl M. J. Aagaard of Chico, CA. - who fondly remember the elegant white streak in her hair which she had even as very young woman, her sweetness with them as children, and the love and hospitality she showered on them whenever they visited her home.
