Hazel Arizona

Turner

Hazel Arizona Turner, 94, passed away on October 10, 2026 at Salem Memorial Hospital in Salem, Missouri.

She was born on January 31, 1932 in Rat, Missouri, the daughter of Arvel Lanham and Bessie (Conway) Lanham.

A woman whose life was centered on faith, family, and service to others, Hazel was saved and baptized at the age of sixteen. She was a devoted, longtime member of Little Vine United Baptist Church, where she faithfully served her church as a Sunday school teacher for many years. She dedicated decades of service as a home health aide and cooked weekly meals for senior citizens in Bunker.

Hazel found joy in tending to her garden and flowers, and she was an accomplished seamstress, often hand quilting beautiful quilts for those she loved. Above all, Hazel was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her home was always filled with unconditional love, and her delicious cooking.

In addition to her parents, Hazel is preceded in death by her husband Paul Turner; two sisters Eula Swiney and Melba Wisdom; and brother Samuel Lanham.

She is survived by her 3 children, Lindell Turner and wife Joann, Glenda Conway and husband Bruce, and Danny Turner and wife Tracey; 6 grandchildren, Kristel Turner-White and husband Norman, Nathan Turner and wife Suzy, Wendy Loeber and husband Jim, Dustin Turner and friend Amy, Andrew Turner and wife Abby, and Cody Turner; 11 great grandchildren, Kelsee Guynn, Trynton Roberts, Karson Roberts, Natia Bailey and husband Jackson, Emma Loeber, Mac Turner, Amos Turner, Thomas Turner, Arleigh Turner, Andilynn Turner, and Acen Turner; and great-great grandchildren, Charlotte, Bree, Ezra and Joel, and many other family and friends who will sadly miss her.
