Larry Lee Warner, 79, of Pineville, MO, passed away Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2019 at 9:49 am. He was husband to his bride of 54 years, Nadine Warner.
Born May 17,1939 in Miami, Oklahoma, Larry was the oldest son of Lee & Marguerette (Jackson) Warner. He graduated high school in Miami, Oklahoma in 1957 and from NSU in Tahlequah, OK in 1961 with a degree in Business Education.
He also met and married his wonderful wife and partner, Nadine Munson, on June 27, 1964. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps. When he returned home he became employed at the McDonald County R-1 School District where he taught for 32 years, serving generations of McDonald County families. He truly loved every day he went to work. Post retirement, he stayed busy substitute teaching, but played a lot more golf, tennis, and traveled more, especially to the Destin area to enjoy his little home away from home during the winter.
Larry,or Chigger, as he was known to many of his students, was known for his wonderful sense of humor, his enduring smile, his sometimes stern look across the classroom, and his caring nature. He belonged to Pineville Methodist Church and a Snowbirds group in Destin, Florida. He enjoyed all types of sports and hanging out with his best friends Bob McCulley and Randy Smith, especially on the tennis courts or golf course! He truly loved being with his grandchildren, Jonathan White, Michael, Kathryn and Ryan Warner, Angie Gilmer (Chris) and Ashly Cochran (J.T.), and his great grandchildren, Kylea, Savanah, and Scarlet.
