At age 82, Dot Hood Turner went to be with our Lord. An active member of the First Baptist Church of Goldsboro, she served as a deacon, director of Sunday school, chairman of Budget and Finance Committee and was a member of the Silver Singers Choir and Silver Bells Choir.
For 24 years, the Goldsboro Chamber of Commerce employed Dot as a secretary/assistant manager. For 10 years, she was employed by Wayne United Way as executive director.

She organized the Goldsboro Christmas Parade for many years and was the Goldsboro Centennial Queen in 1947.
