When she was a child and early teenager Farrah Turner, better known as Maxine to her family and friends, would spend summers going to a nursing home in Lake City, South Carolina, to give elderly people company and comfort. Even in her youth, Turner felt a duty to serve her community, her cousin Britney Weaver said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer goal has always been this sense of community and to bring people together and give back,\u201d said Weaver, now an attorney. \u201cShe wore many different hats in the community because that was what was fulfilling to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Turner died Monday, 19 days after a man ambushed sheriff\u2019s deputies and investigators who went to search a home near Florence, South Carolina. Turner was one of those investigators. Family members described her as faithful, devoted and funny, who made a real impact on people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n
Tributes poured in from around the country for the officer who had been in critical condition for almost three weeks since the shooting.<\/p>\n
