The Katie Turney Memorial Book Fund

The Katie Turney Memorial Book Fund Each year we like to honor Katie's birthday (August 15, 1997) by raising money for her memorial book fund that is gifted to Durant High School Library.

"Nothing beautiful in this world is ever really lost." On August 16, 2013, the day after her 16th birthday, Katie unexpectedly passed away. Life for her family and friends has never been the same. Katie's short but vibrant life, her angelic light, radiant smile and infectious laugh continue to bring joy to our hearts. The support from family and friends has been incredible. We are so touched and g

rateful to all. Katie's love of books and reading has inspired us to raise funds each year for The Katie Turney Memorial Book Fund. In doing so, we hope to ensure Katie's memory lives on through books and reading well into the future. Thank you so much for your continued love and support. With love & blessings,
Team Katie

Friends, Family and CoWorkers, I am asking you once again to consider donating to my daughters memorial fund. We are approaching summer and her Birthday on August 15th, all monies are donated to Durant HS Library to go towards Young Adult books and any other needs the library has. She was an avid reader and reading was her passion. Friends and Family please use the link in the below post to donate. If you are a T-Mobile Co-worker please use the following Benevity link and T-Mobile will match your donation as this is a qualifing program. I recently donated 500 dollars and T-Mobile is matching that amount. https://un-carrier.benevity.org/user/login
Thank you in advance.
