Helen Ethel Warren

Sep 04 1947 - Oct 19 2020

Helen Ethel Warren passed away October 19, 2020 at the age of 73 in McKinney, Texas. Helen was born on September 4, 1947 to Kenneth and Emma Warren in Mobile, AL. She is preceded in death by her parents. 

Helen grew up in Wichita Falls, TX where she graduated from Wichita Falls High School. She went on to attend The University of North Texas. After graduation, she began teaching in Wichita Falls. She would then move to McKinney, TX where she enjoyed the majority of her career. Helen taught kindergarten for many years and later taught 5th-6th grade. With encouragement of colleagues and family, she later returned to school to complete her Masters of Education in Administration and Counseling. Helen retired in 2007 while serving as the Guidance Counselor at Glen Oaks Elementary School. She truly loved every student she ever taught.  Helen also remembered each of student's names, even to this day! 

After the birth of her first grandchild, Helen decided to retire. She was so excited the day her granddaughter was born. Everyone can still see her running down the hallway to get into the room to see her. The bond between her and her granddaughter was very special. From her granddaughter, she earned the name Moe. Her grandson was born a few years later and he soon became her instant comic relief. The two of them could laugh over just about anything. She bought a necklace with two hearts, and she always said those were her two grandchildren's hearts with her all the time. 

She is survived by her son, Kent Warren and wife, Cynthia of Celina, Texas; granddaughter, Cate Emma Warren of Celina, Texas; grandson, Jack Warren of Celina, Texas; brother Doug Warren and wife Judy of Ovilla, Texas; nieces Debra Marshall and husband, Ryan of Canandaigua, New York and Stephanie Ochoa and husband, Noel of Corpus Christi, Texas; and numerous other loving relatives and many friends.
