Dychie Dewayne Turner 88, of Woodward, Oklahoma passed from this life Tuesday, September 23, 2014 in Nashville, TN with family by his side. Dewayne was born on January 12, 1926 in Thomas, OK to Audrey Derrial and Margart Lenor (Taylor) Turner.
Dewayne spent his childhood days in Vici, OK starting his education in a country school south of Vici. As a freshman he transferred to Vici Public School. During his junior year he was drafted and began serving his country in WWII. His duty started August 31, 1944 in the United States Army then transferred to the Air Force of the United States where he served on the island of Guam as an air traffic controller and received the rank of Staff Sergeant. On December 6, 1952 he was honorably discharged.
