     Alice Pope Turner, 92, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully and gracefully on Sunday, July 20, 2025, in Gooding, Idaho.

     Alice was born on June 27, 1933, in Lewiston, Utah, the fourth of eight children to Clive Arden Pope and Sylva Harrison. She spent her early childhood in the beautiful Bear Lake area, where she developed a deep and lasting love for the lake and its surroundings. Her family later moved to a ranch outside Cokeville, Wyoming, where Alice learned the lifelong value of hard work, resourcefulness, and the importance of family unity.

     At just 17 years old, Alice met the love of her life, her handsome cowboy, Keith Turner. They were married on January 7, 1952, in the Logan, Utah Temple. Together they built a lifetime of laughter, love, and enduring companionship. They raised six children and created a home filled with warmth, hard work, laughter and joy.

     In 1972, Keith and Alice settled in Gooding, Idaho, where they began a dairy farm and became the proud owner-operators of Turner’s Service Station. Alice was known for her dedication, resilience, and hands-on approach to everything she did.

     A lifelong and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Alice served diligently in many callings. She gave her whole heart to every assignment and every person she served. She believed that if something was worth doing, it was worth doing well—and worth finding joy in along the way.

     Alice had a gift for making life fun. She loved music, dancing, games, sewing, and hunting for bargains—but nothing brought her more happiness than her family. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest joy and most treasured accomplishment.

     She is survived by her children: Cathy (Ed) Maloy, Carol (Cliven) Bundy, Charles (Stacey) Turner, Cindy (Bart) Dance, Tracy (Jack) Dalin, and Trudy (Chris) McGinnis; her siblings: Evan Pope, Clayton Pope, Starlene Holm, and Merlyn Sandberg; 39 grandchildren, over 125 great-grandchildren, and many more on the way.

     She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Keith E. Turner; her parents; her brothers Ladd and Clive; and her sister LaFond.

     A viewing will be held Friday, July 25, 2025 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at Demaray Funeral Chapel in Gooding, and again one hour prior to the services at the church.

     Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Gooding.

     Interment will take place at 4:00 p.m. that afternoon at the Garden City Cemetery in Garden City, Utah—right next to her sweetheart and overlooking the lake she loved so dearly.

     Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel.
