Marjorie Warner was 82 and had Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Washington Post.
Mrs. Warner was born in Detroit and moved to Connecticut in 1968. She settled in Vernon, with her husband Robert and enjoyed playing bridge and bowling. She also served as a Girl Scout leader, was a member of the Vernon Garden Club and the First Congregational Church of Vernon and volunteered at Rockville General Hospital, according to her obituary in the Courant.
Sen. Chris Dodd came to Connecticut yesterday to attend the funeral, his spokesman said. Dodd and Sen. Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, have a long and close relationship; Warner served on Dodd’s staff in the early 1980s.
