My sincere condolences to the family on the passing of Mrs. Turgeon. I was saddened to read of her passing in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix.
I took French classes from Mrs. Turgeon in my junior high school years at Spiritwood High School in the mid 1980's. Mrs. Turgeon was a good teacher and a kind person. Even though she was strict (which was good), she was always fair. I recall a couple of occassions when she was marking exams and had inadvertantly marked an answer as correct, when it was actually the incorrect answer. When the student brought it to her attention, she would say "one mark for honesty!" and would appropriately give the student credit for the correct answer. She helped instill values of discipline and honesty in her students.
Regards,
