Augustine E. Warren

AUGUSTINE ELIZABETH WARREN, daughter of the late Thomas B. Scott and Helen Husen Scott Richardson, was born on August 5, 1930. She departed this life on January 29, 2013 after a very lengthy illness. She attended Baltimore City Public School System. In later years she furthered her education to help advance her career choices. On April 26, 1946 she married the late Charles Henry Warren and from this union three children were born: Charles, Patricia and Nathaniel. She was all about family so she and her spouse adopted her brother, Richard Scott and raised him as their own son. This event was a blessing to the whole family unit. Augustine was a devoted wife, mother, sister and friend. She stayed at home in her early years of marriage to raise her children and help care for her mother-in-law. As the family grew she always made time to help others who were in need no matter what the situation might be. Family could always call on her. She had an open mind, a listening ear, gentle spirit and caring heart. If she could not help you she would find someone who could (this was usually her husband and in later years her children and friends). She always gave to those she came in contact with a warm smile, words of encouragements, unconditional love and the truth along the way. You knew that you could come to her about anything and it would be kept just between the two of you. To her, if you were a friend you were a part of the family. When her retirement came into affect, she continued to address the needs of others by volunteering at Lakewood Elementary School helping where needed for several years. She also volunteered with Saint Ann’s Food Panty until illness made it impossible for her to continue to physically help. She built friendships that have lasted through the years She loved God and loved to worship him as a member of Saint Ann’s Church. At Saint Ann’s she was a member of the Ladies Solidarity and Jubilee Women. In her leisure, she enjoyed being around family and friends, talking sometimes on the phone, cooking and reading. When her children became older, she joined the work force and obtained a job at Union Memorial Hospital, first working in the Operating Room (OR). She entered the work force with the same characteristics and values that had governed her life. This made her an asset on the job. Over the years, she advanced to the position of Ward Secretary working on the floors. She remained in the job of secretary until her retirement. Augustine was devoted to God, her family and friends. These were the focus of her life. Her faith showed through in how she treated others and how she dealt with life’s joys, heartaches, and illnesses in her later years. She was a person who could be counted on in good times and bad. Her faith and God’s love and mercy kept her strong. She will always be in our hearts and she will be truly missed. She leaves to mourn: one daughter, Patricia D. Warren; one son, Nathaniel R. Warren; two sisters, Lorraine McClellan and Barbara Stewart; one sister-in-law, Naomi McGee; one brother-in-law, William Warren; two daughters-in-law, Rolanda Warren and Penny Scott; one brother-in-law, William McClellan; nine grandchildren, Charles, Pierre, Pandhla, Alice, Malkya, Barron, Juanita, George, Reginald and Gerrod (preceded her in death); nine great-grandchildren, Jaiquan, Isaiah, Alana, Myesha, Tansha, Quantez, Delonte, Elisha and Karron; godson, Leval; nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.
