Mrs. Warren was born Sept. 4, 1942, in Greene County, Pa., to James and Wynona Willison. She was the owner of Twinks Guns for more than 20 years before retiring to enjoy her real passion in life - her music. She was known throughout the state of Texas, most especially in the Panhandle, as a performer, teacher, worship leader and musical ambassador. As a member of the Texas Commission on the Arts, she traveled abroad to represent the great state of Texas with her music. She was a classically trained violinist and was able to perform well within many genres of music. She was perhaps best known for her contributions to cowboy and Celtic music scenes.

Survivors include two sons, Charles Warren and Buzz Warren; three daughters, Julia Young, Melanie Taylor and Katrina McGavock; a brother, James Kenneth Willison; eight grandchildren, Jeremy Taylor, Tiffiny Gwynn, Lindsay Taylor, Rose Amber Warren, Zach Taylor, Katia McQuatters, Joshua Taylor and Madeline Warren; and three great-grandchildren.
