Lauradelle Warne

Lauradelle, devoted wife, mother and grandmother was born May 18, 1931, on the family farm near Burr Oak, Kansas - as she always said "born in a pot" - and peacefully passed on July 1, 2021, at home in Fort Collins, Colorado with family present.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert John; her parents, Clarence and Ruth Fearing; and her siblings, June Dempsey (Gerald), Glen (Dorothy), Beth Kinzie (James), and Jean (Arlene), and her cherished dachshund, Baxter.

She is survived by her brother, Harold Fearing of Enterprise, Alabama, her children Thomas (Julie Dunn) of Fort Collins, Colorado, Susan Haley of San Antonio, Texas, Steven (Jamie) of Warsaw, Missouri, her grandchildren, Andrea, Maria, and Jose Joel (of Thomas); Kristen, Heather Frye (Brandon) and Amanda (of Susan); Jack Robert and Laura Jean (of Steven) and her great-grandchildren, Emma and Ellie (of Heather).

Lauradelle attended Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science in 1950, eventually receiving a degree in Home Economics from Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science in 1961. Following her marriage on December 30, 1951, and subsequent initiation as a US Army spouse in 1955, she became a world traveler and lived in Germany, Denmark, Yugoslavia, Japan as well as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Colorado. Among her many interests and activities, she was a piano soloist and accompanist, church organist, a chorister, an artist, a seamstress, bridge enthusiast, and was active in the Brooke Army Medical Center Women’s Club, The Auxiliary to the Veterinary Medical Association of Bexar County and other service organizations. Lauradelle was a highly successful real estate agent in San Antonio, Texas from 1979 to 2002 because she never knew a stranger. She loved the Spurs, the symphony, and Cotton Eyed Joe line dancing.

Lauradelle was buried with her husband, Robert, at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in a private family ceremony on July 20, 2021. A Celebration of Life will be arranged at a later date, tentatively in the summer of 2022. Please visit www.allnuttftcollins.com to share a memory of Lauradelle or to leave a message for her family.
