Allen Ralph Turner, age 77 of Maryville, IL, born February 9, 1945, in Taunton Somerset, England, passed away peacefully July 16, 2022 surrounded by his family.

Allen worked for Eastman Kodak Corporation 27 years while living in the Chicago area and retired and relocated to this area in 2003 and became a school bus driver for First Student in Collinsville, IL. He was an avid motorcyclist traveling many thousands of miles with his wife, son, and grandchildren. He was a member of the BMW Motorcyclist Owners of America and editor of the local BMW Motorcycle Magazine. He loved watching classic movies. He had a real sense of fashion and was quite the dresser! But most of all he loved his wife, his children, and grandchildren because he loved his family more than life itself.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Allen A. and Audrey (nee Reed) Turner; and his first wife, Margaret (nee Dunn) Turner.

Surviving Allen is his wife of 52 years, MaryAnn (nee Tummillo); one son, Jeffrey (Kristi) Turner of Hopedale IL; one daughter, Jennifer (Mike) Melton of Maryville, IL; four grandchildren: Anthony Bodnar, Alyssa Turner, Zachary Bodnar, and Emma Turner; a sister, Sheila Woods; many nephews and nieces; many cousins and many, many friends.
