Doris Maybelle Stroud Warner
1929 - 2020
Early Life: Doris was born January 9, 1929, to Emmett R. and Mabel Robinson Stroud, sharecroppers on a tobacco farm in Swansboro, North Carolina. She was the eldest of three.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: Believing that an education would redirect the trajectory of her life, she put herself through East Carolina Teachers College, earning a degree in home economics. Upon graduation, she worked as a dietician at Duke University Hospital. When a teaching position opened up in Southern Pines, North Carolina, she took it.
While there, she met her future husband, a soldier stationed nearby, at Fort Bragg. She and Ted J. Warner were married June 19, 1953, in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were together for 61 years until Ted’s death in July 2014.
Doris earned a master’s and doctorate degree in Education from Brigham Young University, both while teaching full-time and raising three teenage daughters.
She taught home economics for over 40 years, earning many awards for her outstanding work. Generations of students can thank her for teaching them how to combine a basic mix, to cook a pizza, and how to sew an A-line skirt. Sadly, her three daughters were not among those students. She pioneered Vocational Education at Provo High School and was proud to be the first teacher in the state of Utah to allow boys in her Foods classes. She often pulled all-nighters helping students finish their entries for the annual Make It With Wool Contest.
Together, Ted and Doris traveled the world. They were directors of several BYU Semester Abroad programs to Madrid and London, as well as tour guides through BYU Travel Study. They also enjoyed accompanying the Young Ambassadors on tour throughout the world. When both retired, they spent a year in China, teaching English and History through the China Teacher’s Program. They also served missions in Nauvoo, Illinois, and at the Madrid Spain Temple. A convert to the Church, Doris loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ and found joy in serving others.
Doris was generous with her time; if you asked her for help she would not just assist you, she would give it her all. She was also generous with her home. Over the years, she took in numerous international students who needed a place to stay for a semester or two, and in exchange, she would ask them to teach her their language. Alas, while Doris was granted the gift of gab, she was not granted the gift of tongues. Of course, she spoke perfect English - with a Southern drawl.
She loved working in her yard at the family home on Apple Avenue in Provo; her flowers were enjoyed by all who passed by. When she wanted to build a stone wall in the backyard, she taught herself masonry. Her finished project was christened, “The Great Wall of Doris.”
Doris was a serious shopper, one skill her daughters would inherit. She loved a bargain and never left a sale empty-handed. She could tell you where she purchased any item in her house, and quote how much she paid for it, always after a deep discount or even some haggling. Some of her happiest times were at the Rastro in Madrid, Spain, or on Portobello Road in London. Her purchases in China had to be sent home in a shipping container.
When her beloved “Tedder” passed away, she moved to St. George, Utah, where she served another mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was an ordinance worker in the St. George Utah Temple and she helped serve meals at the local homeless shelter. Doris Maybelle Stroud Warner, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, joined her dear husband, Ted, when she passed on August 28, 2020. She was 91.
Survived By: Three daughters, Kathryn “Katy” Warner Christiansen (Steve); Cecelia “Cissy” Warner (Dave Burnard); and Carolyn Warner Taylor (Tom); eight grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
