Margot Turner
Obituary
Margot Turner, 53 of Gonzales, passed away on April 13 after a brief illness.
She was born to Marlyne and Tom Turner on May 12, 1966, in Salinas. She was the third generation to live on her family's ranch on River Road. During her youth, Margot was active in school and 4H, participating in many local Fairs.
As an adult, she developed a passion for the outdoors and enjoyed supporting organizations like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and California Deer Association. She was also a member of the Swiss-American Club and was a long-standing member of the Monterey County Fair Heritage Foundation.
Margot will be sorely missed by those who knew her, especially the Ladies of St. Theodore's whom she'd meet with every week. Margot was predeceased by her mother, Marlyne; her brother Doug; her grandparents, Herman and Sylvia Bassetti; and her uncle Phil Bassetti.
She is survived by her father, niece Madison, cousin Lisa, plus numerous other relatives, godchildren, and dear friends.
Her friends would like to extend a Special Thanks to the staff at SVMH Heart Center and ICU for their exceptional and compassionate care of Margot.
A Memorial Service for Margot will be scheduled at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in Margot's Memory to Monterey County Swiss Rifle Club, St. Theodore's Church – Renovation Project, Monterey County Fair Heritage Foundation, or the donor's favorite charity would be appreciated.
