Beloved Long Grove resident Barbara (Reed) Turner passed away on April 9, 2020, at the age of 100. 

Barbara is familiar to most people in the Long Grove area as the namesake of Reed-Turner Woodland Preserve, a natural treasure of woodland, ravine, sedge meadow, creek, pond, stream, wildflowers, and wildlife. Barbara grew up in this area and later donated her family’s land as a nature preserve. Her colorful history and generous legacy to Long Grove extends well beyond Reed-Turner Woodland.
