The funeral service will be held at 11:00 A.M., Monday, August 6, 2018 at First Salem Baptist Church, 191 Twin Church Road, Montezuma, Georgia. Burial will follow in the Champ Waters Cemetery, Montezuma, Georgia.
Mrs. Rosetta Collier Turner was born October 14, 1938 in Montezuma, Macon County, Georgia to the late Dave Collier Jr. and Odessa Phillip Collier. Eight siblings, Annie Claude Forbes, Annette Collier, Arthur Collier, Charles Collier, Christine Catlin, David Collier, Dorothy Collier and Mary Hambrick, preceded her in death. Mrs. Turner acquired her education in the public school system of Macon County at the historic Flint River Farms School. For many years, she was employed at the Riverside Hospital as a cook and the Montezuma Nursing Home as a Nurse’s Assistant. Mrs. Turner then decided that her passion was still cooking and serving others, so she became employed with the Macon County School System as a cook.
At an early age she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and joined the band of Christian believers at First Salem Baptist Church where she served as deaconess and being a great cook, she was the head cook of the Hospitality Committee. She also supported every ministry of the church she loved so well. “Servant of God, well done.”
Mrs. Turner lived a happy life, she had a great personality and enjoyed cleaning, making others laugh and socializing with her family and friends.
On Tuesday evening, July 31, 2018 Rosetta Collier Turner departed her life. A precious one from us is gone; a voice we love is still, a place is vacant in our hearts, that can nevermore be filled.
Left to cherish her memories are her daughter, Sharon Diane English, Montezuma, Georgia; two grandchildren Quentin Dewayne Martin English and Quanedra LaShay English, both of Montezuma, Georgia; one sibling, Ms. Bernice Collier (Geoffrey Larry), Montezuma, Georgia; a devoted aunt, Carrie Rackley, Montezuma, Georgia; nieces/nephews, Claude Lee Forbes (Linda), Darrell Forbes, Wynette Collier, Gwendolyn Forbes, Carolyn Forbes and Sheila Hambrick all of Montezuma, Georgia, Angela Collins (John), Kathleen, Georgia, Arthur Collier Jr. (Linda) Texas, Reginald Collier (Dawn), Atlanta, Georgia, Milton Collier (Beverly) Henry County, Georgia, Jacquelin Brown, Savannah, Georgia, Elaine Moore, (Glaestone Thomas), Hartwell, Georgia and Karen Hambrick, Cobb Georgia, and Susan Causey (Homer), Atlanta, Georgia; and a host of other relatives and friends including devoted friends, Hattie Hubbard, Nanny Mae Tookes, and Polly Lester, of Montezuma, Georgia.
