OBITUARIES PAGE UPDATES -- The Flash Today has added new updates to the obituaries page, including Maurene Turney Thurman, 89, who passed away on Monday, August 4. Visitation will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 9, at Harrell Funeral Home in Dublin. Graveside services will follow at 11 a.m. in the New Dublin Liveoak Cemetery. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during such a difficult time.

Maurene has found peace after a brief and sudden illness, joining her beloved husband, Herbert Thurman, and her Lord. For the past 15 years, she deeply missed Herbert, cherishing every moment they had spent together. Maurene was a devoted family woman who loved playing Dominoes with her great-granddaughter, Lilly, and singing songs about Jesus to her granddaughters. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she was a cherished member of the Wilshire Park Baptist Church in Midland, where her smile was a constant presence.

Dublin held a special place in Maurene's heart, whether she was visiting friends and family or enjoying the serenity of Lake Proctor with Herbert. She was known for her delicious homemade treats, including Brownies, Texas Sheet Cake, Potato patties, and butter cookies. Her affection extended to Andrea’s dog, Tucker, whom she lovingly called her 'Little Tuck Tuck'. In her later years, Maurene found joy in tending to her garden and watching her flowers bloom, and she never lost her fondness for Dublin Dr Pepper.

Maurene will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. To learn more or to view local obituaries for free, check out The Flash Today by clicking here: http://theflashtoday.com/category/obits/
