Doris May Warden

Mar. 27, 1924 – Jan. 25, 2014

Doris May Warden, a sixty year resident of San Mateo County, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on January 25, 2014. She was 89 years old. Doris was born in San Francisco to Porter H. and Ivy M. Whitaker. She was a devoted wife to George H. Warden and loving mother to her three children; Nancy L. Matis of Rohnert Park, George R. Warden (Cindy) of Redwood City and Willard W. Warden (Virginia) of Woodside.

Doris was preceded in death by her husband George H. Warden, brothers; Willard, Porter, and Sisters Ivy, Barbara and Lois.

In addition to her children, she had six grandchildren (Jamin Pimpo, Mandy Perez, Ron Matis, Abby Lyon, Ben Warden & Kelly Warden) and seven great-grandchildren (Tony Pimpo, Duncan Pimpo, Lexi Pimpo, Jacob Perez, Logan Perez, Reagan Matis and Hunter Lyon).

Doris graduated from Balboa High School in San Francisco. Throughout her life, she was dedicated to serving others. She worked for the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department and served faithfully at Woodside Village Church as a deacon. Her example of kindness and service is carried on by her children and grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations to Pathways Home Health or a charity of your choice. A memorial service celebrating her life will be held at the Woodside Village Church on Sunday, February 9, 2014 at 2:00 pm.

Nancy, George, and Willard, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. The last time I saw her was just before my mom (her cousin) June Brosnan passed away. Sue (Brosnan) Enfantino

I am Margaret and Forrest Tiffany's daughter, friends of Doris's from the church. I always looked forward to seeing Doris when I would visit Woodside. She was such a warm and generous person. I know she will be missed.

Dear Nancy, George and Willard,

Peter and I want to offer our sincere condolences for the passing of your wonderful mother.

We will never forget the great times we had at the Warden functions, the very enjoyable visits we had with Nancy and her family, and the pleasure of knowing both of your parents. We will never forget those enjoyable times. Peter always thought so highly of both your parents, and still does.

In all sincerity, due to family commitment, we will not be able to attend the memorial service. Please know that you all will be in our thoughts that day.

I will miss our phone calls and laughs about fun growing up in a large family. And how I love remembering the fun trips with her and Uncle George. She missed her sisters and husband and I find comfort knowing they are all together again. Families are forever.

Aunt Doris had a ready laugh and a wonderful way of making everyone feel loved. I especially admired the way she shared her deep faith in God, with humility but with great conviction. I will miss our visits with her.

Aunt Doris was a role model for me. She always had time for anybody and everybody. She always gave of herself and looked forward to doing so. May God hold her in the palm of His hand.
