Carolyn Jean Warren

Carolyn Jean Stanford Warren was born on December 19, 1930, in Bladon Springs, AL. Jean later passed away peacefully at her home in Meridian, MS on November 29, 2025.

Jean graduated in 1948 from Silas High School in Silas, AL. She then attended Livingston University, in Livingston, AL, where she graduated in 1951 with a bachelor's degree in education.

With her degree in education, she taught second grade at Poplar Springs Elementary School 30 years before retiring. She enjoyed her teaching career and loved each one of her students dearly as she taught over the years. She was even a member of the Retired Teachers’ Association and enjoyed monthly luncheons as her health permitted.

Jean enjoyed baking, cooking, and making floral arrangements. She would bake goodies for friends, medical facilities, and many others. Once she knew someone was not feeling well, she would deliver soups and juice. She also enjoyed feeding the neighborhood cats, as she did not want to see them go hungry.

Jean was also a member of Bladon Springs Church in Alabama and a faithful member of Jones Memorial Presbyterian Church, of Meridian, Ms.
