On March 26, 1964, in Lafayette, Louisiana, her parents, Vergie Lee Trahan Mitchell and Murray Paul Mitchell, were gifted with a fourth baby girl, who was destined to always be the life of the party, always dancing, laughing, and bringing joy to all those who were fortunate to meet her on the path of her life’s journey. 

A native of Gueydan and a resident of Lake Arthur, Louisiana.  Remona was united in holy matrimony to Eric Scott Turner on December 25, 1987. They had one son, Virgil Turner.
