Harriet Anderson Turbyfill
Harriet Anderson Turbyfill, age 90, of Maiden, died Saturday, February 22, 2014 at Azalea Estates Assisted Living Facility in Fayetteville, Ga. Her children will receive family and friends on Friday, February 28, 2014 at Warlick Funeral Home in Lincolnton from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. The memorial service will be held at Salem United Church of Christ, 3410 Startown Road, Lincolnton, at noon on Saturday, March 1, 2014 Rev. Linn Finger officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. Afterward, you may join the family for refreshments in the fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Salem UCC, 3410 Startown Road, Lincolnton, NC 28092.
Harriet Turbyfill was born Harriet Eloise Anderson on Jan. 7, 1924 in Belle Fourche, South Dakota to the late Adolph and Marie Slaughter Anderson, and was raised on a homestead near Recluse, Wyoming (a “town” of fitting name). She lost her father when she was 4 years-of-age and the family struggled to keep the homestead during the Great Depression. Widow Marie taught in little one-room schoolhouses around the county, to keep home and hearth together.
When War II broke out, she worked in a secretarial pool in Salt Lake City, UT where she met and married the love of her life, Roy Turbyfill Jr. – a soldier stationed at nearby Kerns Field. A daughter, Mary Grace, was born and the young family moved to “Turby’s” farm near Maiden.
After two sons (Robert and Sidney) were born, Harriet found employment as a secretary with Newton Glove in Newton before making her career at Carolina Mills headquarters in Maiden from which she retired in 1986. Active in her church, Harriet was treasurer – first at Salem Reformed (later Salem UCC) – and busy with all the other things moms did back then. Coming from the rural West, Harriet was diligent to adapt and fit in to her adopted southern home. At the last, she was content.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Roy H. Turbyfill Jr.; survived by three children, Mary Grace Caudle of Fayetteville, Ga.; Robert Finger Turbyfill and wife Jo of Waldorf, Md., and Sidney Lee Turbyfill of Maiden; six grandchildren, Julie Martin Baima and husband, Charles, of Macon, Ga., Michelle Martin of Asheville, Myia Turbyfill of Culver City, Calif., Shawna Turbyfill of Lincoln, R.I., Jimmy Martin and wife, Jen, of Cameron, S.C., Jeffery Caudle and wife, Monica, of McDonough, Ga.; and seven great-grandchildren, Madison, Thomas, Haylee, Rylee, Blake Eloise, Ewan, and Luke.
