Turney
Coat of Arms
The coat of arms shown here is slightly different than the senior generation of Turneys are used to seeing. It was developed by Shannon in 2008 while she was preparing graphics for her and Eddie's wedding.
It differs from the earlier and more familiar version of the Turney family coat of arms that her Great-Great-Uncle John Turney (Jackson, Tennessee; RIP) had researched and distributed throughout the family in the early 1960s.
The changes are minor but important. Shannon gave the three bulls in this version a slightly more Celtic appearance and entwined their legs in Celtic knots to emphasize the Irish elements of her heritage that are so important to her.
This version of the coat of arms appeared on the wedding invitations, the ceremony program, a banner that her Uncle Jack carried to lead the wedding procession, and several other items.
