Judie Warren Obituary

Judie Wallace Warren, born on July 27, 1930 in Houston Texas to Andrew Jackson Wallace and Gertrude Hazel Lozano Wallace, passed away on June 29, 2020 at the age of 89. Judie is survived by a brother, Arthur Wallace and two sons, Wade W. Warren (Gina) and West W. Warren (Jonte'); and grandchildren, Winter Warren Wesley Warren, Sky Warren, Blakely Warren and West Warren, Jr. She is also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Judie did not know a stranger. Her zest for life shined in her personality every day. She took great care of her beloved poodles: Beaucoup, Bateau, Sam and Beaux. Judie was an art aficionado, visiting every museum for hours in any city she was in all over the world. However, her true passion was discovered after she retired from the health club business- in painting. Judie painted hundreds of paintings over a 25 year span. She generously gave her paintings to family and friends. Her family and friends will truly miss her great laugh, vivacious personality, and positive attitude. She shared a special bond with her only brother and would travel around the world on trips with her husband, Frank, and her brother. Judie and Frank met at Arthur Murray Dance Studio and enjoyed an over 60 year marriage. Her grandchildren will especially miss her tuna salad, deviled eggs, club sandwiches, and contagious laugh. She was preceded in death by her husband, Benjamin Frank Warren; her parents; and sisters, Gertie Krell, Shirley Bell and Nan Carothers. A private burial will be held for the family only due to the pandemic. In lieu of flowers please, send contributions to the New Orleans Museum of Art "NOMA" in her name, 1 Collins Diboll Cir., New Orleans, LA 70124.

Wade, West and families, I am deeply saddened to have just learned of your mother's passing. I first knew your parents in Corpus Christi in the early 1960's. My mother managed one of their studios there and we became very close friends. In fact, your mother played a large part in my formative years. Her husky voice, her infectious laugh and her inimitable sense of style will be with me to the end. We shared a lifelong mutual friendship with Hsiao-Hsia Tsai and your mother collected many of her works and was an early influencer on my interest in art. It was a pleasure to receive the Christmas card from Judie each year featuring her original artwork. And I never think of your mother that I am not reminded of her wicked sense of humor. She was a classic and I can only imagine the loss you are feeling. When I graduated from college over forty years ago she sent me a clock as a gift. It was so unique and I had it for so long that when it finally stopped working I kept it because of the connection to her. I still have it. I hope the knowledge that your mother's spirit so positively impacted such a wide swath of people is of some comfort to you all as you mourn her loss.
