Ms. Edna Turnage Armstrong, 89, of Monticello, Mississippi passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 21, 2021. She was born August 11, 1932 in Sontag, Mississippi to A.D. and Minnie Daughdrill Turnage.

Graveside services will be held on Saturday, October 23 in the Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery, Sontag, Mississippi at 11:00 AM. Wilson Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.

Edna was a true southern lady who loved dressing up for church – nails and hair always had to be done – with a passion for hummingbirds and all flowers. Before moving back to Lawrence County, she and her husband resided in Pascagoula, Mississippi where they were members of Eastlawn Baptist Church. After returning home, she attended Shiloh Baptist Church and Carmel Baptist Church.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Genice and Greg Garlisch of Bellevue, WA, along with three grandchildren; Gemma, Aimee, and Gregory Garlisch. She also leaves behind one sister, Sue Deare Hyde of Monticello, and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Edna was preceded in death by her husband, Osborne Armstrong and by her parents, as well as three brothers – A.D. Turnage, Jr, Maxie Turnage, and Barry Edward Turnage – and two sisters – Frances Odom and Bonnie Jean Breeden.
