Lynne Jordan Turley’s life was about harmony and empathy.
Through her passion for the piano and her desire to make music a part of Memphis’ schoolchildren’s lives, Turley, who died April 22 at age 79, helped to create the first music program for the Memphis City Schools in 1963.

No one can dispute the artistic, humanitarian, and philanthropic legacy of Dolly Parton. Her $1 million donation last spring to Vanderbilt University to develop a Covid vaccine has all but helped save the world.
