Clara Viola Warren

Jeannie and Jerry: Your mother was a favorite Sunday School teacher of mine and I remember her fondly. Such an accomplished woman -- a wonderful role model -- and a dear, sweet woman. I feel privileged to have known her -- my deepest sympathies to you both ...

She always seemed to recognize us at Church though it was clearly her last days and must have been difficult. We know the last couple of years were difficult for Clara and for you and and your families, but you all coped with
"Amazing Grace" cognizant of how you wanted this time to be...and be...

I am very saddened to learn about Mrs. Warren's passing. She was my second grade teacher at Steffan Manor School in 1953 ..... and my first inspiration to go into education myself! She was a fantastic teacher with high expectations, and she always made learning so much fun. After I began my first year (substitute teaching in Vallejo Schools), I was able to visit with her one day. I remember that she was wearing pretty red shoes then; she told me that her husband had given them to her for...
