Pontotoc—April Ruth Miller Turner, 36, passed away Wednesday, April 15, 2020, at her home. She was born July 11, 1983 in Columbus, the daughter of William Franklin Miller and Judy Wren Wallace. April worked as a Traffic Coordinator for WTVA and was a member of Discovery Church. She showed her strong faith in Christ through many unselfish acts and through volunteering in her church and community. April was a true example to others. She enjoyed the outdoors, camping, hiking and riding horseback. She loved her family and children and the special times they spent together. April had a great love of music and sang in multiple bands. This was inspired by her step father, Dennis, with whom she shared a special relationship. He was always there for her with guidance and unconditional love.
