The Graveside services celebrating and honoring the life of Mary Ellen (Westfahl) Turner will be held at 3:00 P.M. Sunday, March 24, 2019 in the Ames Cemetery with Deacon Tony Crispo officiating. She was a faithful member of St. Gregory Catholic Church. Services are under the direction of Brown-Cummings Funeral Home.

Mary Ellen was a wonderful mother, homemaker, seamstress, quilter, and cook. She loved cooking large meals for her family during the holidays, as well as large meals for harvest hands during the harvest season. At Ames she always had a large meal cooked when her children arrived home from a long day at school.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Lee, sisters Norene and Frances Betty, and brothers Kenneth and Clarence.
She is survived by her four children, Margaret Barton, and husband Johnny, of Alva, OK, Mary Maehr of Jenks, OK, Karyl Haines, and husband Jack, of Waukomis, OK, Jim Turner, and wife Debbie, of Enid, two sisters, Doris Dean, of Oklahoma City, OK, and Billie Marcoux, of Enid, OK.
