On Sunday, law enforcements from across the country paid their respects and said their final goodbyes to Florence County Investigator Farrah Turner at the Florence Center.
“When it hits one, it hits all of us,” said Hampton County deputy Milton Robinson.
Hundreds of people attended the funeral services for Investigator Farrah Turner who died in the line of duty.
Friends, family and law enforcements said Investigator Turner, or ” Maxine” as people would call her, described her as a strong, courageous person who touched many lives.
“We worked 12 hour shifts together and I got to know her well. Turner was sweet and enjoyable to talk to and easy to communicate with,” said Florence County Fire Rescue coordinator Sam Brockington,
Several officers from surrounding states said they didn’t personally know Investigator Turner but say losing her is like losing one of their own.
“In the line of work that we do everyday we can always plan and go in with plan, but we never know how it’s going to turn out,” said Robinson.
Florence County Sheriff Kenny Boone shared personal memories and talked about her devotion to helping children and people around the community.
“Farrah saw and treated every person as an individual for who they are. Turner made them feel important and special,” said Florence County Sheriff Kenney Boone.
After the funeral services, Investigator Turner was laid to rest at the Florence Memorial Gardens, the same cemetery her brother in blue, Sgt Terrence Carraway was buried three weeks ago.
