Ralph Turenne, 47
July 24, 2022
Ralph Turenne, 47, of Lancaster, passed away on Sunday, July 24, 2022 after a long and courageous battle with colon cancer, with his loving family by his side. Born in Port au Prince, Haiti, he was the son of Marie Carmel (Leconte) Turenne and the late Isdore Turenne. He and Genevieve (Riche) Turenne celebrated over 19 beautiful years of marriage together.
Everyone knew when Ralph was around. He was the life of the party and lit up a room. He always wanted people around him to have a good time and be happy. He was a commercial truck driver for J.B. Hunt and loved going to work every day. He found that traveling the open road was his calling. Ralph also focused on keeping himself healthy. He would spend hours at the gym preparing for 5K races; his biggest accomplishment was completing a Spartan Race a few years ago.
Ralph will be sorely missed by his mother, Marie; wife, Genevieve; children, Jadon, Brielle and Donovan Turenne; brothers, Hans Turenne, husband of Covell Lee-Turenne of Bergenfield, NJ, Thierry Turenne and Ricardo Turenne, both of Brooklyn, NY; a niece and nephew, Amaya and Tyler; cousins, Diane Lorseille of Hartsdale, NY, Vladamir “Lepe” Lorseille of Long Island, NY and Wence Lorseille of Brooklyn, NY, as well as his aunt Yseult Lorseille of Brooklyn, NY.
A Celebration of Ralph’s life will be held on Friday, July 29, 2022 at 6 PM at the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543. Friends and family are invited to a viewing beginning at 4 PM until the time of the service.

Dear Genevieve and the entire Turenne family,
I knew Ralph many years ago. Thierry and I were best friends and brothers in high school. I spent many of days with Ralph growing up, and looking up to him. He, much like Hans and Thierry and Marie were a second family for me. Ralph truly was the nicest and most positive person I’ve ever met. He had the original Turenne smile that lit up not just a room, but a person’s day. I admired him because he always found the positive and was just always so kind. My prayers and condolences going out to you all. From my family to yours, we wish you peace during your time of grief. Ralph truly is one of the greatest souls I’ve known, and departed far too soon. God Bless all of you.
