Lee Warren Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Corley Funeral Home - Corsicana from Dec. 30, 2024 to Jan. 13, 2025.
Mr. Lee R. Warren, 87, affectionately known as Lee to his friends, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2024, in Corsicana, Texas, after a courageous battle with dementia. Born on March 2, 1937, in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, Lee's journey through life was marked by the love he shared with those around him. Those who knew Lee would describe him as quiet, loving, and a good bit stubborn.
After graduating from Quitman High School in 1955, Lee proudly served his country as a member of the U.S. Army, where he developed the discipline and resilience that would define his character. Following his military service, he embarked on a career with the Burroughs Corporation, demonstrating expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to perform to the highest standard. His desire to work independently led him to later establish his own successful office machines company.
Beyond professional achievements, Lee was a man of many interests and talents. He was a self-taught artist, expressing his creativity through painting; and he found joy in music, learning to play both the guitar and ukulele. In his earlier years, Lee was an avid horseman. He owned a number of horses and taught his daughters to ride. He enjoyed studying the Bible until his vision no longer allowed him to read.
Lee is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Barbara Warren; daughters, Gina (Warren) Niffen and Tina Warren; grandchildren, Benjamin and Elia Niffen; and sister, Angela Richard. He will be deeply missed by those who loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, J.S. and Pauline Warren; and brothers, Deloy Warren and John Henry Warren.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers and medical staff that provided comfort and care to Lee during his final days. It is through their dedication and compassion that Lee's last moments were filled with peace and dignity.
The funeral service will be held at Antioch Cumberland Presbyterian Church and cemetery in Quitman, La. on Saturday, Jan 25th, 2025 at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to one of the following organizations:
1. Cure Alzheimer's Fund www.curealz.org
2. Alzheimer's Foundation of America https://alzfdn.org/
3. Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation https://www.alzinfo.org/
