REMEMBRANCE 



TIFFANY 
JEAN 
WARNER 


Sierra Madre lost one 
of our most colorful 
residents this week. 
Tiffany Warner 
died in her sleep 
Wednesday, March 27.
She was 42 years old. 

If you didn’t have the 
pleasure of knowing 
her personally, you’ve 
surely seen Tiffany 
around town and at 
Beantown, where 
she often went in the 
afternoons to read or 
do her puzzle books. 
She loved it when 
people said hi or had a 

conversation with her. You couldn’t miss her in her bright-colored 
clothes, often tye dyed, and pretty blue eyes. When she smiled, her 
whole face lit up. 

I first met Tiffany in 1995 through her mother Char, who was my 
classmate. Tiffany was singing in the choir of our church, and 
she and I hit it right off. We remained buddies over the years, and 
especially enjoyed trick-or-treating every Halloween. She loved 
to introduce me as her “big sister Kelly” and I’ve thought of her 
and her family as my own. 

Tiffany loved to read and was curiously interested in early 
American history. She enjoyed the summer concerts in the park, 
and would dance freely right up by the stage. Like some of us she 
didn’t seem to suffer from self-consciousness. 

I feel grateful for having known Tiffany. She taught me many 
things about love and patience. I will miss our time together. It 
will be hard to walk by Beantown everyday and not look for her 
through the window. Her family is grateful for the kindness Sierra 
Madre residents have shown Tiffany all these years. 

Services will be held Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 11 am at the 
Episcopal Church of The Ascension, 25 E. Laurel Ave., Sierra 
Madre 
All Tiffany’s friends are welcome.
