Turner is a mother to four children. Her eldest, Craig, died by suicide via self-inflicted gunshot wound in July 2018 at age 59.

“I think Craig was lonely, that’s what I think really got him more than anything else,” Turner told Gayle King in an interview a year later. “I have pictures all around of him smiling, and I think I’m sensing that he’s in a good place. I really do.”

Ronnie is survived by his mother and wife.

Craig was born when Turner was 18 years old. Her second husband, Ike Turner, adopted him when they got together. His biological father, Raymond Hill, played saxophone for the band Kings of Rhythm.

The “Best” songstress later told the “New York Times” that she lived a “terrible life” in light of all the abuse she faced in Ike’s hands, as well as the illnesses she battled.

He and Afida had no children.

“I had a terrible life,” she shared. “I just kept going. You just keep going, and you hope that something will come.”

Gesturing to her extravagant home in Switzerland, Chateau Algonquin, she added, “This came.”
