Biography
Jeanne-Marie Émilie Turrettini answered the call to serve as a soldier at a time when few women stepped into such roles, demonstrating courage and composure in the midst of conflict. She earned the respect of comrades through tireless work and a sincere desire to protect her neighbors, whether by managing logistics, tending to the wounded, or standing beside those who fought.
Her life remains a testament to determination and duty, and the tranquility of the Cemetery of Kings offers a quiet place to reflect on the strength she shared with future generations.
