Carol and Leon Warren

Carol was born in Curtis, Nebraska to Charles and Lucille Brandt on July 13, 1943. She graduated from Bridgeport High School before attending school to become an LVN. She moved to Muleshoe, Texas where she met and married her husband Leon Warren on July 23, 1976. Carol worked as an LVN until her granddaughter was born and then became a full time "Granny". She was an avid reader and loved to take trips to the local library. She also loved to garden and surrounded her home with beautiful flowering plants.

Leon Warren, 84, passed away surrounded by family on January 7, 2020.

Leon was born in Wichita Falls, Texas to Floyd and Sylvia Warren on September 26, 1935. He grew up working on a farm in the panhandle of Texas. He began his career with the Green Butane Company before moving to Western 66 where he worked for 45 years. He fully retired from Dale Oil Company at the age of 80. Leon loved to work and when he wasn't working as a propane delivery truck driver, he was working in his own personal mechanic shop in the backyard. He rebuilt and restored antique trucks, cars, tractors, and even an occasional toy. Leon was always willing to lend a hand and could always be counted on to help with anything you needed.

Leon and Carol were married for 43 years until Carol's passing at the end of December. He quickly followed her 18 days later on January 7th. They had many ups and downs throughout their marriage, but they always made sure their home was a safe welcoming environment for their family. They had many adventures together over the years, including trips to the casino, swap meets, and anywhere else they thought might be fun to see.
