Dr. Jack Lee Turner
ODESSA — Jack Lee Turner, M.D., F.A.C.S., was born in Dallas, Texas, on Jan. 4, 1923, and died in Odessa, Texas, on Oct. 27, 2002.
He was reared in Highland Park and graduated from Highland Park High School and Southern Methodist University. He earned his Doctor of Medicine Degree from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in 1946. He served his internship at the United States Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Va., and graduated from Flight Surgeon Training at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. He completed his postgraduate and residency training in Otolaryngology at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, Mo., and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
He practiced Otolaryngology in Odessa, Texas, for 40 years. He was a pioneer in modern-day ear surgery. He did much of the early work developing the Transtympanic Ventilating Tube, which, for many years, was known as the “Turner Tube.” This operation is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures today.
He was one of the founders and past president of the Otolaryngologic Association of Texas and a member of the prestigious Triological Society.
He served a term as Chief of Staff at Medical Center Hospital, and acted as a spokesman for the Odessa Delegation that was successful in bringing the Texas Tech School of Medicine to Odessa. He received the Heritage of Odessa Award for Health Science in 1985, along with numerous other awards and accomplishments.
He was a modern-day Renaissance man who continually searched for knowledge and worked to make things more beautiful. He leaves behind countless “projects” and examples of his artistic skills at his church and every place that he lived.
He would like to be remembered as a truly compassionate doctor and man who loved his profession, his Operating Room staff, his patients and those in need. He considered delivering “Meals on Wheels” a privilege, and only discontinued that labor of love when he was no longer able.
He greatly loved his family and friends, and remains a role model for his children for living life to the fullest extent with responsibility, respect, and appreciation for humor and fun.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Ludee Harrington Turner; sons, Terence L. Turner and Patricia King and Jeffrey William Turner and his wife, Cherry of San Antonio; daughter, Nancy Turner-Young and her husband, Robert of San Diego, Calif.; grandsons, Toby Turner of Austin, Matthew Turner of San Antonio and Texas Christian University and Robert Jackson Young of San Diego; and granddaughter Rosemary Claire Young of San Diego.

The family is especially grateful to Emily Thielepape and the Home Hospice team, Dr. B. J. Naidu and his staff, the Rev. Laura Deaderick and all of their wonderful friends.
