November 26, 1924 - November 06, 2013
Shirley Mae Warneke, 88, died peacefully and comfortably, Nov. 6, 2013, while in residence at Crista Senior Living. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Arthur Edward and Hazel Mae Warneke, she moved to Seattle as a young adult. She was the eldest of three brothers and three sisters, all of whom were raised and remained in the Midwest throughout their lives. She held jobs with Pan-American Airlines, Northgate Hospital, and Shoreline Community College Business Office. She and her aunt Myrtle Warneke were among the first residents of Innis Arden, where she lived until her recent move to Crista. Her fondness of the outdoors took her on many excursions to beaches around the Sound with her cherished pups. She was a strong-willed, practical woman who enjoyed taking drives in her 1968 Ford Galaxie. She preferred listening to music and sports on the radio, or reading, and never owned a TV. She always dressed impeccably because she believed "you never get a second chance to make a good first impression." A fabulous cook, her fondness for food made her a "foodie" long before the term was en vogue. When dining, she ate very slowly, savoring every bite. Shirley will always be remembered as a supportive and generous friend, neighbor, and sister.
Funeral Information
At Shirley's request, there will be no service. She will be inurned at Washelli Sanctuary of Truth Mausoleum.
