Dannes’ determination in volunteerism has been rewarded as she was
recognized with the Mason’s “Community Builder’s Award” in 2004. Her
character of selflessness is demonstrated through the many hours given
in support of organizations such as United Fund (Treasurer), the
Barbarian Festival Committee, Cross Plains Cancer Fund, Technology
Committee at Cross Plains ISD, and Meals on Wheels. Even though their
children have long graduated from Cross Plains High Schools, Dannes and
Greg still volunteer for concession stand duties and support school
functions in many areas of activity.
Recognized with a certificate of appreciation for participating in the
prison ministry “Glorify Restoration Justice Ministry”, Dannes’ faith is
one that bears fruit and is known by its works. As a member of First
Baptist Church since 1974 her commitment is evident as she teaches third
and fourth grade Sunday school classes as well as serving on the
Personnel Committee.
Dannes was been employed by Texas Heritage Bank for over 30 years and
currently serves in the position of Administrator for Senior Citizens
Center for the City of Cross Plains..
Dannes graduated as Valedictorian of her 1977 Cross Plains High School
class. In 1978 she went on to marry her High School sweetheart Greg
Turner. Greg is the owner of Turner Landscape Irrigation and together,
he and Dannes have two children – Joseph and Jennifer – who both
graduated from Cross Plains High School. Dannes and Greg have two
grandchildren.
Dannes enjoys camping with her family, fishing, water and snow skiing,
long walks and enjoying nature. “I am blessed to have lived in Cross Plains most of my life and having the opportunity to raise my children in an environment where helping others is a cooperative spirit. Serving on the EDC has given me another means by which to give back to the community I love.” |
