Stanley Furl Warren

Stanley Furl Warren, 91 year old Mt. Hebron resident, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, May 25, 2014 at Skylakes Medical Center in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Stanley was born to Orie and Annie Warren on June 29, 1923 in Climax Springs, Missouri. Stanley was raised in that area on the family farm and attended local schools through high school. He was the #1 pitcher on the softball team and if the war hadn’t happened, he and his team would have taken State that year. Right after high school graduation, Stanley joined the U.S. Navy, where he served at Pearl Harbor. After he left the Navy, Stanley went home and married Betty Green in 1947 in Kentucky on their way to California. They were headed to Tennant where they would make their home while Stanley worked for Long Bell Lumber Co. He continued to work for the company even though it changed hands to be International Paper Company. He and Betty lived in Tennant until 1956 when they moved to Mt. Hebron, where he built his family a home. They raised 5 children of their own in that home and many other people’s children along the way. Stanley or “Pa” had a sign that read “Pa’s Place - Always Open”. Betty passed away in 2005 but Stanley continued to live in the family home until his passing. Stanley spent 43 years as a timber faller and loved his years working in the woods. He retired from Bear Cat Logging where he worked after International Paper shut down. He was such a skilled timber faller that even after retirement, the U.S. Forest Service would call him in to help on fires. Being raised on a farm, Stanley also loved to grow his home garden. He was famous for getting his children and grandchildren and any of their friends involved in helping to put up the fruits of his labor. He also loved fishing and anything to do with food, but mostly he loved EVERYTHING family. Stanley is survived by his daughters and their families, Karen Adams of White City, Ore., Sherlyn Braden of Macdoel, Rebecca Moser of Montague and Jana Lovitt of Montague. He was the proud grandpa of 10 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Betty Warren; a son, Stanley Lee Warren; a daughter at birth, Anna Kathleen and two brothers, Harold and Paul Warren. Friends and family are invited to attend a Graveside service which will be held on Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at the Lakeview Cemetery in Macdoel. Memorial contributions may be made to Wounded Warrior Project, www.woundedwarriorproject.org/donate.aspx or to the charity of one’s choice.
