On Tuesday, April 4, 2018, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. attended the 102nd birthday of Sarah Turner at the R.A.I.N. Eastchester Neighborhood Senior Center.
Born in 1916 in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Mother” Turner as she is known throughout the community, has been a member of Burke Avenue Baptist Church for more than 50 years.
“Sarah Turner is a prime example that age is a state of mind,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. “It was an honor joining ’Mother’ Turner, her friends and family to celebrate life and I look forward to celebrating her 103rd birthday next year.”
