She was preceded in death by her parents; her sons, John Stanley Turner and David Turner; and her siblings, Thomas Burton Delk, Mary Alice Delk, Henry Mac "Mickey" Delk, and Joe Delk.

She is lovingly remembered by her children: Randy Turner; Micheal Turner and wife Jennifer; Stephen Turner and his life partner Michael; and John Henry Turner, all of Duncan, Oklahoma. She leaves behind 16 grandchildren, including Florence Azia Roman and husband Enrique of Oklahoma City, whom she proudly raised, as well as numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Alma is also survived by her siblings: Earl Delk of Marlow, Oklahoma; Sammy Delk of Ninnekah, Oklahoma; Carl Delk of Cordell, Oklahoma; Kathy Hale of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Mary Danford of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Florence Alma Cauthron will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for the love she shared and the legacy she leaves behind.
