Charlaine leaves behind her loving and most cherished mother figure to all generations, Victoria Taylor of Smith Station, AL, formerly of Ferriday, LA; daughter, Nina Charlaine Yerger of Tallulah, LA; son, Jason Arch Yerger & his wife Robyn of Vicksburg, MS; grandsons, Jackson McGehee, Jay Schaaf, and Turner Yerger; brother, Charles Edward "Bo" Turner & his wife Melody of Chattanooga, TN; sisters-in-law, Dorothy S.

Charlaine loved music, all animals, especially horses, and the time she spent at Head Start taking delight in dedicating her days to giving her young students the best opportunities to flourish. Her greatest happiness was spending time with her grandchildren. She was always eager to enjoy a visit with her friends and she never lost the cherished bond she held with her hometown of Ferriday. Charlaine will long be remembered for the lighthearted, joyful, and sweet way she touched the lives of her many friends and virtually everyone she met. She never failed to find the good in every situation and person she encountered and showed this with her ever present smile and positive nature. When confronted with the challenges of her final illness, Charlaine met each one with grace, peace, and deep gratitude for the exceptional care she received from her loving daughter and son. The entire family greatly appreciates the invaluable, compassionate help from Kathy Tyler, Charlaine’s devoted caregiver and friend, Dr. David Headley and the staff of Claiborne County Hospital, Johanna Kimberl PA, Dr. Corey Albritton and the Staff of Crossroads Hospice, and Primestar Home Health.
Honorary pallbearers will be Cole Norris, Darryl Ellerbee, Jackson McGehee, Jay Schaaf, Rachel Turner, JT Turner, Brittany Rogel, Brooks Turner Megan King, Mary Elise Kingsmill, and Catherine Schlessinger.
