it closed in 1986. He then worked for the Anamosa State Penitentiary, retiring in 1999. In retirement, Ed served on the Maquoketa City Council for several years and was one of five men who started the Maquoketa Police Reserves. Ed was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan, could fix anything, and regularly enjoyed playing cards with his McDonald's friends. He especially loved his grandchildren and would do anything for his family. Those left to honor his memory include his children, Jeff (Cindy) Turney of Maquoketa, IA, and Paula (Ted) Van Patten of Goose Lake, IA; 4 grandchildren, Lucas (Sarah) Dever, Jacob Dever, Carlie (and boyfriend Jordan Phillips) and Jordan Turney; and 3 step-grandchildren, Ted Van Patten, Cameron Van Patten and Sara Van Patten. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Joan of 59 years, 7 brothers and 3 sisters. "The entire family would like to give special thanks to Hospice of Jackson County and Dr. Kimberly Thompson." In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, an Edgar A. "Ed" Turney memorial fund has been established. Online Condolences may be left at www.CarsonAndSon.com.
