Louise P. Warren

After a two-year fight against breast cancer, Louise’s battle ended on a rainy March 13 with family at her side. Louise was born in Galax, VA, in 1945, daughter to Kyle and Lillie Poe. Louise’s childhood was spent in Virginia, mostly with grandparents until her early teens when she moved to live with her mother and stepfather Wally Bailey. Wally’s career was with GE, and because of work relocations, Louise moved several times before finishing high school in Cherry Hill, NJ, and business school in Philadelphia. She then followed her parents to Daytona Beach, a large GE facility which supported NASA’s Apollo program. It was there that she met Lynn Warren, a young engineer and future life partner, at a TGIF party; they married a year later and this union lasted for the next 58 years. Because of work opportunities and a desire to see different parts of the country, Lynn and Louise lived in several interesting parts of the country before welcoming son, Christopher, in Boulder, CO, in 1970. Eventually the family moved to Bellevue, WA, where they spent the next 30 years (until Lynn retired from Boeing) before following son and daughter-in-law, Linda, to PebbleCreek in 2011. Louise loved Christmas and found an ideal job in Bellevue working at a year-round Christmas House; she loved people and was a great organizer and planner and participated in numerous activities including the SAAB Club in Washington, the Hiking Club, BOCCE and TTT organizations in PebbleCreek. She was also talented in finding thoughtful gifts and creative event displays, and never met a slot machine that she didn’t like. Although her husband was, Louise was never a hiker but was a great friend of the club and helped to organize and support many memorable events over the years. Louise leaves behind husband, Lynn, son Christopher and daughter-in-law, Linda, as well as a younger brother, Ronnie. If desired, you may donate in Louise’s name to Breast Cancer Research, National Park Service or Humane Society (Louise also loved animals).

A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, March 30th, 2025 at PebbleCreek Tuscany Falls Clubhouse beginning at 10:00 A.M.
