Warren Lee Clare, Ph.D.
Wenatchee, WA
Warren L. Clare, age 78, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on
February 13, 2016. Warren was born July 6, 1937 in Colfax, WA. In his early
years, Warren moved to Wenatchee, WA, where he attended Wenatchee schools. He
met his wife-to-be at Columbia Elementary. While in high school, Warren made
the baseball team as a catcher. Joining the “Y,” Warren served as a camp
counselor. He became an excellent swimmer, spending summers as a life guard.
Warren was also a founding member in Paul Pugh’s Wenatchee Youth Circus. While
in high school, Warren was active in FFA debate and theatre. Warren married
his childhood sweetheart, Jean (Windhusen) in 1957, and moved to Idaho.
Returning to Washington, Warren received the prestigious NDEA Fellowship,
which enabled him to earn a Doctorate in Philosophy in American Studies from
WSU. Warren devoted his life to teaching young adults. His teaching included
WSU, UW, Linfield College, Garrett Heyns Education Center - Centralia College.
Warren and Jean raised their family in the Northwest. Living in the great
outdoors, Warren taught his children fishing, hunting, skiing, huckleberry
picking, high alpine backpacking, outdoor survival skills, and Tae Kwon Do
karate. As Scout Leader, he helped both of his sons earn Eagle Scout honors.
Warren’s academic career was marked by numerous awards and publications for
his teaching, writing, and speaking engagements. He was named Correction
Education Association Region VI Teacher of the Year. He also received awards
from the Washington State Historical Society and the Northwest Writers’
Association, among many other honors.
After retirement, Warren and Jean moved to their hometown of Wenatchee to be
closer to family. Both Warren and Jean were avid Gold’s Gym members. They
received recognition for logging in over 1,000 workouts during a Gold’s Gym
challenge. In retirement, Warren joined the PACE program from Texas State
University to teach college courses on board naval ships. Warren served on
board over 20 ships, from battleships to carriers, helping U.S. Marines and
sailors to achieve a college education. Along with many recommendations from
captains and crew members, Warren received the NYSSOD Excellence Award from
Texas State University.
Warren led an adventurous life on land and at sea, recalling his adventures in
his writing and storytelling. He also was an avid reader, with wall-to-wall
bookcases at home of classics, adventures and science fiction. It is a well
known fact that Warren was never seen without a book or Kindle in his hand or
pocket. Warren’s faith was the key to his life. He was active in Saint
Joseph’s Catholic Church in Wenatchee as a gifted lector with his dramatic
stentorian voice. Warren was a member of the Wenatchee Knights of Columbus
Council and served as a past Grand Knight.
Warren’s exuberant life on Earth has ended. Our loving Jesus called him home.
He is greatly loved and will be surely missed. His beautiful spirit is with us
always. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith.”
Warren is survived by his wife, Jean Clare. They were married for 58 years,
and were blessed with two sons, a daughter and five grandchildren. Their older
son, Wayne, resides in Olympia, WA. Laurel, husband Bruce and their son, Alex,
live in East Wenatchee, WA. Younger son, Colonel Wes Clare and wife Wendy
along with their children, Stephanie, Warren, Hannah, and Erin live in
California. Warren is also survived by his mother, Wilma Garrett; brother, Jim
and wife Arlene. He has a step-sister, Shelley Bagg and husband Jonathan, and
step-brother, Johnathan Garrett. His niece, June Penfield and husband Brent;
nephew, Justin Clare and wife, Kristy; and uncle, Keith McCandless; round out
the immediate family. Warren was preceded in death by his father, Walden Clare
and step-father, Bill Garrett.
A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Wenatchee, WA
on Friday June 17, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. A luncheon will follow at Kuykendal Hall
immediately following Mass. Friends are invited to join the family for a
continued time of sharing and celebrating Warren’s life. Concluding service
and internment will follow at 2:30 p.m. Friday June 17, 2016 at Wenatchee City
Cemetery, with Father Wesley Clare officiating. Memorial contributions may be
made in Warren’s name to St. Vincent de Paul or the Wenatchee Valley Humane
Society. We wish to extend our thanks to relatives and friends who have
provided comfort and support. Thank you and God Bless.
