WARREN, LAURA JEAN Died in Santa Fe on Sunday, January 26, 2014. She was preceded in death by Mary Briault, her close friend, confidante and business partner, Harriet MacDowell, her friend and mentor for many years, her parents A. Lucille Simmons and Raymond Warren and her older brothers Robert, Kenneth and Bruce. Laura was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She attended University of Wisconsin and UC Berkeley studying Theatre, Comparative Literature and Education. She held an undergraduate degree as well as two master's degrees. Her avid pursuit of theatre took her to Germany where she was employed as a civilian for the USO and lived for many years. After her USO experience, she moved to London to study acting at the Royal Academy of Drama. When she returned to the States, she settled in Chicago and taught Drama, first through twelfth grade, at Francis W. Parker School. After her time at Parker, she helped found the Louise DeKoven Bowen Center on the North side of Chicago and was the head teacher there for four years. She supervised programs that taught life skills to a group severely emotionally-disturbed elementary school-age boys. Her work was recognized by the Department of Education in Washington D.C. During her school vacations at Francis W. Parker School and the Bowen Center, she was the Director of a Girl Scout summer camp for the Detroit Council for ten years. She first moved to New Mexico in the late seventies & taught 5th grade in Alamogordo, NM, taught both 5th & 6th grade for several years at Sandia Prep in Albuquerque then returned to Chicago to once again teach Theatre at Francis Parker. She re-settled in New Mexico in 1976, to co-found the Corrales Inn Restaurant and Bed and Breakfast. At the Inn, Laura played host, counselor and friend to all who entered, setting the bar for hospitality. While living and working in Corrales, she served one term as the Mayor. Laura retired and moved to Santa Fe in 1995, where she volunteered with HIV patients and taught English as a second language, pursued her lifelong love of reading, tended her garden, enjoyed movies, theatre and good food. She traveled extensively. Laura once said that the obligation of theater and movies is to enlighten and teach us through the exploration of relationships. Making those lessons our own, we in turn are obliged to enlighten the world. Laura did just that, enlightening an enormous circle of people with her unbridled enthusiasm, care and conviction. The family requests that those who wish to honor Laura make donations to: Think New Mexico 1227 Paseo de Peralta Santa Fe, NM 87501 www.thinknewmexico.org Or Jambo Kids Foundation 1704-B Llano Street #200 Santa Fe, NM 87505 JamboKids.org Laura requested no memorial service.
