Loretta "Jean" Warford was born January 25, 1940.  She departed this life January 5, 2026 at her home surrounded by her loving family.

She was a magnificent florist with her own flower shop named Flowers Forever.  Her arrangements were always stunning.  She gave back to charities, benefits and other various projects. She loved fiercely and it showed.  And will be remembered for loving her family and friends which were one and the same.
