I have many fond memories of Thanksgivings spent with Aunt Wynee, Uncle Bud , Bert, Chan, and Andy. I will always remember backrubs I gave her on those days, the yummy tomatoe pudding, and warm family time. We shared a love of ballet and that lovely gardenia fragrance! I am happy to have my memories of her. Love and hugs to all. Ingrid

My Aunt Wynee was always kind to me, and I appreciated that. I have special memories of time spent with her when I was a child, and as an adult. We shared a love of cooking, beautiful flowers, and travel, so we always had something fun to discuss. The scent of gardenias will continue to evoke memories of her (and the Woodside house!). Love and hugs to my cousins and their families.

As long-time patrons of the Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College, my wife and I are so grateful for Ms. Warden's generous donation to refurbish the interior. The beautiful photo of her in the lobby is inspirational.

She was a wonderful woman; generous, thoughtful and always fun to be around. What a blessing it was to have known her.
