Dorothy Anderson Warren

She was born March 19, 1929, in Iredell County and was the daughter of the late Tracy and Lacie Marlowe Anderson. She retired from Celenese Industries in 1988 following 20 years of service, and had previously worked at McNeer-Dillon. She attended Union Chapel Baptist Church, enjoyed her flower gardens, and was especially happy outdoors in her straw hat and hoe working in her garden.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Louise Swicegood; and two brothers, Ernest and Lonnie Anderson.

She is survived by a sister, Wilma Swicegood; and numerous nieces and nephews.
