Lewiston Morning Tribune, Lewiston Idaho
Mildred F. Warren, 85, a resident of Orofino, died Friday, Oct. 17, 2003, at Clearwater Valley Hospital in Orofino.
She was born Jan. 21, 1918, in Clearwater, Neb., to Louis and Jane Ann Marwood McKenna. As a young girl she grew up on a farm in that area during the dust storms,
Great Depression and grasshopper invasions. At the age of 14 she started working outside the home taking care of the elderly.
In 1940 she moved to Los Angeles where she did domestic work for a stockbroker.
This is where she met and married her husband, Frank Warren, in Yuma, Ariz., July 19, 1941. The couple moved to San Diego in 1945. There they owned and operated a garage and gas station and Frank was a mechanic. They moved to Lewiston in 1948 and purchased a home in Clarkston Heights in 1951 where they raised livestock, gardens and their children. She worked for several years as a cook at Tri-State Hospital before the family moved to Pierce in 1966. They lived there until 1977 when Frank retired and they moved to Orofino.
Her husband of 50 years died in 1991. In 2001, she moved to Brookside Landing in Orofino. Each and every resident there was very special to her and became another part of her family.
Her door was always open and her grandchildren would stop by regularly with their friends. She loved them all. She also had a great love for many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and all of her nieces and nephews. One of the greatest highlights of her life was when David Johnson of the Lewiston Morning Tribune called upon her in November 1999 for an interview.
Mildred was a gardener of vegetables and flowers and loved to preserve produce and cook for her family. She was a member of the Eagles Auxiliary and their drill team in the '40s, a member of the Rebekahs, and a 4-H leader in Pierce. She was involved with RSVP, Orofino Senior Citizens and hospice. Mildred was a member of the First Christian Church in Orofino where she was on the board and served as a deaconess. Prior to her death, the board bestowed upon her lifetime honorary deaconess. Her church, Pastor Howard and Jesus Christ were of great comfort to her. She loved her family and was truly devoted to her daughters, granddaughters and great grandchildren.
She is survived by her daughters and their husbands, Ben and Jane Greene of Orofino and Ray and Peggy Moore of Clarkston; three sisters, Rose Jensen of Neligh, Neb., Irene McLeod of San Diego and Joyce Pankau of Chula Vista, Calif.; brother Lloyd McKenna of Lewiston; granddaughters Kerrie Matos, Shelly Brown, Salena Moore, Jennifer Willis, Bridjett Moore and Amanda Greene; great-grandchildren Nicholas and Nathan Brown and Jasmine Moore and Ryan Jared; and many nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Frank; sister Georgia Carlson; and brothers Richard McKenna and Gene McKenna.
The funeral is at 11 a.m. Friday at Pine Hills Funeral Chapel in Orofino. A luncheon will follow at First Christian Church in Orofino. Burial will be at 3 p.m. Friday at Lewis-Clark Memorial Gardens in Lewiston.
Memorials may be made to Christian Women Fellowship at First Christian Church or Clearwater EMTs.
