It is with deep sadness that I report the death of Valerie Jean TURNER 83yrs who sadly passed away after a short illness, in hospital, on the 6th December 2025. Val as she was known, was the wife of Retired Detective Superintendent Ron TURNER.

Val was employed by the Nottingham City Police in 1960 as a Typist/Secretary in the CID Typing Pool and also for Special Branch. Her ability was described as outstanding. She left the Police Service in 1971 to have a family. She and Ron married in 1967 and had been together some 58 years.

She leaves her husband Ron, daughter Wendy and son Adrian. She also leaves Grandchildren, Isaac, Louis, Charlie and Sam.

Her funeral arrangements are as follows:

A Cremation Service will take place at 1pm Thursday 8th January 2026 at Bramcote Crematorium, Coventry Lane, Bramcote, Nottingham. After the funeral service there will be a Celebration of her Life to be held at Wollaton Park Golf Club.

Ron and his family would welcome friends and former colleagues to attend should they wish to do so in order to pay their respects.

The undertakers are Julie WESSON Funeral Services of Beeston, Nottingham.

Our thoughts and condolences are extended to the family at this very sad time.
