Turner Park created in honor of shooting victim
Francis Marion University’s Board of Trustees has approved naming a new park on campus after the late Farrah Maxine Turner. Turner, a 2005 FMU graduate, was an investigator with the Florence County Sheriff’s Office who was killed during the Oct. 3 shooting tragedy in West Florence. Turner Park will be an intimate and reflective space set amidst the Forest Villa residential apartments on campus. It will include benches, trails, plantings and a distinctive water feature. Darlington resident Sgt. Terrence Carraway also died in the Oct. 3 shootings.
