Clarence Franklin Turley, Jr.  (1932-2005)

The Clarence Franklin Turley,Jr. family has had un-measurable blessings, for which we are grateful.  Our home has been blessed with five lovely, healthy children, which really keeps the whole house alive.   We have lived in the Deming, New Mexico area since 1961, where Frank has been employed with the Federal Aviation Administration as Electronic Engineer.  Prior to that time he received his degree from the University of New Mexico in Geology and Engineering and has also many hours with the Federal Aviation Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,  I, Helen, spent a couple of years at BYU before our marriage, which education I would like to continue some day, perhaps when the children are grown.

We have served in many positions in the Deming Ward which is small, so there has been much opportunity for service. These privileges have really promoted our appreciation, growth and understanding of the Gospel.  Frank was released last Sunday, however, form his position in the Bishopric, along with the rest of the family from our responsibilities since we are planning to move to Mesa, Arizona by the first of Aug. (1976).  Jill, our oldest, will be a senior in school this fall, and Kelly, our youngest, will be in the sixth grade, so we want to be settled in Mesa by the time the school year begins.  We have felt as a family that we needed to relocate where there is more opportunity for church youth activity for our growing family, so we are looking forward to moving.
