We sadly lost our mother on Friday, March 11, 2022, when her heart could beat no longer. Marie Speller Murray-Turner passed away at DePaul’s Hospital after a short stay.

Marie attended Sumner High School, a division of the St. Louis Public School System and afterwards ventured into the field of communication.

In 1970, Marie and David divorced and Marie remarried. From this union, another daughter was born, the late Shauntel L. Turner.
