Lowell Conrad Turman, 83, of Stuart, Virginia, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born in Carroll County, Virginia, to the late Garfield Turman and Evelyn Puckett Turman, Lowell lived a life marked by hard work, kindness, service, and devotion to those he loved. He proudly served his country in the United States Army and carried the values of duty, humility, and integrity throughout his life.

Raised in a large family alongside five sisters and four brothers, Lowell learned early the importance of family, responsibility, and helping others. Those values remained at the center of his life.

A lifelong farmer and gardener, Lowell found joy in working the land. Whether tending his garden, caring for his farm, or helping a neighbor in need, he was happiest outdoors with his hands busy and his heart full. He took pride in providing for his family and sharing the fruits of his labor with others.

Lowell was also a talented woodworker who enjoyed creating with his hands and sharing his craftsmanship with family and friends. He took great pleasure in collecting coins and was always eager to share the stories, history, and treasures he had gathered over the years. His hobbies reflected his appreciation for patience, tradition, and the simple joys of life.

More than anything, Lowell loved his family. He was a devoted husband, a proud father, and a cherished grandfather whose steady presence, wisdom, and gentle nature touched generations. Known for his deep kindness and willingness to help anyone, he cared deeply for others and left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Lowell is survived by his beloved wife, Sue Turman, with whom he shared 61 years of marriage. Together they built a life centered on love, family, and faith. He is also survived by his three children, Kenneth Turman (Cheri), Susan Taylor (Scott), and Jason Turman (Mandy).

He was a proud grandfather to Faith (Zack), Matysan, Christian (Chloe), Morghan, Mackenzie, Matthew, Bryson, and Caydon, all of whom brought him tremendous joy and pride.

His legacy lives on in the family he loved, the land he cared for, and the countless acts of kindness he shared throughout his life. His gentle spirit, strong work ethic, and loving heart will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
