The life of a great woman began on January 9, 1938, when Delores Blaine Turner entered this world through parents, Moses N. Blaine and Carolyn Philson Blaine.  This life brought so much joy to the Blaines, their families, and their community.  Delores was showered with love. She accepted Christ at an early age at Saint Athanasius Episcopal Church in Brunswick, Georgia.  She was especially active in church youth activities. Delores was a product of Georgia Public Schools, completing her elementary and high school studies at Brunswick's Risley School.  Upon graduating in 1956, Delores enrolled in Atlanta's Spelman College for Women, where she pursued an academic program in Sociology and History. In 1957 her poise, popularity, and charm in the Atlanta University Center won the attention of the fraternities at Morehouse College for Men.  Delores was selected and crowned Queen of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated.  She also became the Queen of Brother Charles E. Turner, Jr. whom she married in 1959.  After marriage, Charles and Delores decided to relocate to New Haven, Connecticut.  Charles accepted a job opportunity in Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale Medical School.  Delores accepted a job opportunity in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. In 1960 the city of New Haven organized the Anti-poverty Program, Community Progress, Incorporated.  Delores accepted a job opportunity at the New Haven Redevelopment Agency in 1962, and the New Haven Housing Authority where she became the Tenant Manager at Rockview, Farnum Court, and Brookside Tenant Housing sites. She retired in 2002. Delores and Charles are the proud parents of Amy Michelle Turner Bell, Bennett College/North Carolina A&T State University, BS/MS, and Charles E. Turner, III, North Carolina A&T State University, BA/MAT.  Delores and Charles are also the proud grandparents of Ennicholas Allen Bell, Nigel Gregory Bell, and Warnell Jerome Smith, North Carolina A&T State University, Aeronautical Engineering, 2018.

Turner, III; grandchildren, Ennicholas Bell, Nigel Bell and Warnell Smith; her younger brother, Michael Blaine, his wife Susan, daughter, Chanelle Blaine and son, Michael Blaine, Jr.; and a host of other relatives in Virginia, North Carolina,  Georgia, Florida, and New Jersey.
