Funeral arrangements have been set for state Sen. Johnnie Turner, of Harlan, an attorney who died Tuesday of injuries sustained last month in a lawn mower accident.
Visitation will be from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Nov. 1 in the Harlan County High School auditorium at 4000 North U.S. 119 in Baxter, according to an announcement shared Friday on behalf of Turner’s family by Senate Republicans.
Funeral mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Nov. 2 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 2536 South U.S. 421 in Harlan.
Burial will follow at Resthaven Cemetery in the Keith community.
Anderson-Laws & Jones Funeral Home is handling arrangements, according to the funeral home’s website.
Turner, 76, was a Republican who represented District 29, which includes Bell, Floyd, Harlan, Knott and Letcher counties.
He was injured Sept. 15 when he drove a mower into the deep end of an empty swimming pool at his home, Kentucky State Police said at the time.
