Mamie Duhon Turnley, passed away on June 2, 2025, at the age of 86. Born in Kaplan, Louisiana, to Loylis Duhon Sr. and Levie Adams. She is the oldest of 1 sibling and is half sister to 7 younger siblings. Mamie’s journey was one marked by boundless curiosity, unwavering faith, and a profound love for both her family and the world beyond her doorstep.

A devout Catholic, Mamie’s faith was the compass that guided her, and she lived each day as a testament to Christ’s love—offering kindness, hospitality, and encouragement to all she met. She strengthened her faith through her religious travels.

Mamie’s greatest joy was her family. She was a loving wife to her late husband, Lytle C. Turnley, and a devoted mother to her 4 children. She cherished her five grandchildren, who knew her as “Ganny”. She enjoyed bringing her family and friends with her on travels and new experiences. She firmly believed that her entire family and friends should experience new places and cultures and was always trying to gather the family for the next adventure. Being an adventurous person, who did not believe in detail planning, it made travels with her fun, exciting and memorable. Mamie’s home was always open, her table always full, and her laughter a constant comfort to friends and loved ones.

She is survived by her children: Lisa Constantin Janise (Kevin), Maria Constantin, Richard Constantin (Christene) and Carl A. Turnley (Katherine) Her legacy continues through her grandchildren: Cameron Constantin, Alexander Constantin, Alexander Janise, Katherine Janise and Benjamin Constantin.

Mamie now joins in the eternal rest with her husband Lytle C. Turnley; her father Loylis Duhon, Sr; her mother Levie Adams and her brother Loylis Duhon, Jr. Her grandchildren will serve as pallbearers, readers, and gift bearers.

Though the world feels quieter without her vibrant spirit, we take comfort in knowing she has embarked on her greatest journey yet.
