Edith Warrington
Longtime Cromwell-area resident Edith Nash Warrington died Nov. 16 in Shawnee at age 91.
Born Oct. 29, 1933, Warrington was the sixth of Ed and Hester Nash’s seven children. A graduate of Cromwell High School, she and Lenzy “Gene” Warrington woke up a judge in Huntsville, Arkansas, to marry them on Oct. 15, 1951.
After a year in Tulsa, the pair returned to Cromwell where they raised two children, Stan and Jan. Edith went on to earn her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from East Central University and taught at Bearden, Butner and Strother. Following a brief retirement, she went back to work, this time at the Cromwell post office, for another 15 years. A member of First Baptist Church Cromwell, she was an avid quilter who loved her cats and her family.
Survivors include one daughter, Jan Henley and husband James of Tulsa; one daughter-in-law, Sally Warrington of Tulsa; four grandchildren, Lenzy Krehbiel-Burton, Jay Krehbiel, Mark Warrington and Patrick Warrington; four great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, her son, her parents and her six siblings: Agnes, Arletta, Danny, Dickie, Harry and Sue.
Services will be under the direction of Parks Brothers Funeral Home of Okemah.

Wonderful woman who left behind quite a legacy in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I’m grateful to be a good friend to her granddaughter, Lenzy, since we were kids and know she will be missed. My condolences to the family.
