Jennifer Mary Yvonne Turner

1986 - 2025

It is with great sadness that the family of the late Jennifer Mary Yvonne Turner (née Pickett) announce that she has gone to be with her Lord in Heaven. After a three-year battle with lung cancer, Jenn peacefully passed away on Monday, March 17, 2025, at Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry, Ontario.

Jenn was born in Clinton, Ontario, on February 28, 1986, to Gordon Pickett and the late Shari Lynn Salive (deceased October 2024). She is deeply mourned by her loving husband Hanson Turner, their cherished daughter Faith, and son Elijah.

She will be sadly missed by her sisters: Anita Pickett-Thomas (Don Thomas), Renaye Pickett, Chantel Pickett (Dan Hurbert), and her stepbrother Douglas Schadler. Jenn is also lovingly remembered by her parents-in-law, Karen Smith Turner and Steve Smith.

A devoted member of Emmanuel Community Church of Port Perry, Scugog Bikers Church, and Kawartha Lakes Bikers Church, Jenn touched many lives through her faith, compassion, and generosity. The overwhelming love shown by her church communities in her final days was a testament to the impact she had on those around her.

Jenn was a remarkable woman—more than a friend, she was a gift from God. Her unwavering faith, kindness, and laughter brightened every life she touched. She also leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication through her care for animals and her work in pet services.

Rested at the Wagg Funeral Home, 216 Queen Street, Port Perry.

Information regarding a Celebration of Jenn’s Life will be shared soon through her “Jenn’s Journey” Facebook group.

In honour of Jenn’s passion for being Jesus’ hands and feet to the world, donations may be made in her memory to the Benevolence Fund at Emmanuel Community Church: https://pushpay.com/g/emmanuelcc.

Though our hearts ache, we rejoice in knowing Jenn is now at peace in the presence of her Lord and Saviour, where we will one day be reunited.

Nancy Joan (Lake) Skelding

August 30, 1938 - March 22, 2025

In loving memory of Nancy Joan Skelding.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Nancy Joan Skelding on March 22, 2025, in Cobourg, Ontario.

Nancy was predeceased by her beloved husband, Jack. Together, they built a meaningful life on their dairy farm, where they raised their family and created lasting memories. She was a devoted mother to Jackie (Rob) Snow and Karen (Jason) Dasovich, and a proud grandmother to Jeremy, Amie, Emma, Ava, and Isaac. Nancy will be remembered for her strong work ethic, dedication to her family, and generous spirit.

Always active, Nancy could often be found working on the farm, baking for loved ones, or contributing her time with the United Church Women. She was a talented homemaker and baker, and her kitchen was always filled with the comforting aroma of something fresh from the oven.

As per her wishes, there will be no formal service. A private celebration of life will be held this summer.

In memory of Nancy, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society.
