WALLA WALLA, Wash. — Hazel V. Dammrose, 86, of Walla Walla, died at her home Sept. 5, at the age of 86.
She was born in Cassils, Alberta, Canada to Chester and Mabel Johnson. After completing 11 years of education, she married George H. Turner in 1939, and then moved to Massachusetts to be near his family. Their oldest son, Ron, was born in 1940 and then they moved to Shelton, Wash., where Hazel gave birth to two more boys, Harvey and John Edward. George worked in the Bremerton Navy Yard during World War II and Hazel was a homemaker. After the war and moves to Alberta, Canada and to Massachusetts, Hazel moved with her three boys to College Place, Wash., in 1947 so Ron would be able to begin his education in a Seventh-day Adventist school. After completing a work assignment in Massachusetts, her husband followed the family to College Place in 1948.
Hazel was active in children's ministries — a cradle roll leader in the Village SDA Church for many years, led out in Sabbath School seminars and workshops in the Upper Columbia Conference, organized and led out in story hours and Vacation Bible Schools.
Working outside the home to obtain resources to pay for Christian education for her three sons, she cleaned houses, was employed at the Washington Odd Fellows Home, did laundry, and then was co-owner of the George H. Turner Lumber Company that sold new and used lumber at the corner of 3rd and Birch Streets in Walla Walla. In 1977, she and George Turner divorced. About this time her children's ministry was focused in the North part of Walla Walla where she led out in a Vacation Bible School that would develop into a Bible School that would later become the Northside Seventh-day Adventist Church. It was not unusual to see 45-75 children attending Bible School on a Saturday morning and then watch these children enjoy a delicious meal prepared by her and others assisting her. Not only did she give of her talents and time, she invested financially to see a number of these children enjoy the experience of Camp MiVoden on Hayden Lake in Idaho, of attending SDA schools, and being involved in Pathfinder clubs. She visited children in their homes, praying with and for them, writing notes of encouragement, and helping them grow in their relationship with Christ. Her passion and her overall desire was to be ready for the second coming of Jesus and have her family and friends with her in Heaven.
In 1980, Hazel married a widower, Maurice Dammrose, and they enjoyed 22 years together ministering to children and families of the Northside SDA Church and Eastgate SDA church. After Maurice's death in March, 2002, Hazel returned to the Northside Church where she continued her ministry to children and led out in an adult Sabbath School class
She was a lifelong member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her love and passion for Jesus was evident in the care and concern she exhibited as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend.
