BURLEY – Vickie Marie (Hemsley) Turney, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2026, at the age of 73, at her home with her family by her side.

She was born in Rexburg, Idaho, on May 29, 1953, to Nola and Richard Hemsley. Vic grew up alongside her four siblings Sam, Richard, Nola and Jim, who she remained close to throughout her life.

She graduated from Minico High School in 1971. As a young woman, Vickie faithfully served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Lansing, Michigan. This experience strengthened her lifelong faith and love for serving and truly caring for others.

Vickie married the love of her life, Jim Turney, on March 29, 1984. Together they built a family centered on love, faith, and the outdoors. She was a devoted mother to her sons, Nick and Chris, and later welcomed her daughter-in-law, McKel, into the family as her own. Nothing brought her greater joy than spending time with her cherished grandchildren, Hebgen Lee and Basin Owen.

Though she will be deeply missed, Vic’s love, faith, and beautiful example will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She will be remembered for her unwavering love of family, generous heart, quiet strength, and ability to make everyone feel cared for. Her legacy lives on in the traditions she created the memories she shared, and the love she gave so freely.
