Dudley (Lee) Warren, 60, of Killingworth, died Oct. 31 at Middlesex Hospice. Lee was born on Aug. 11, 1955, in Bridgeport, to Dudley and Gene Warren and grew up in Wallingford.
Lee worked for many years in the printing business while eventually establishing Thankful Circle Farm in Killingworth. His love for the land combined with his desire to grow quality produce led him to find his passion in organic farming. Lee sold locally at farmers markets where he was known not only for his quality produce but also his genuine heart and contagious smile.
Lee is survived by four of his children, Amie Guarraia of East Lyme, Sara Warren of Guilford, Jesse Warren of Middlefield, and Noka Warren of Southwick, Massachusetts. He will also be missed greatly by his five loving grandchildren. In addition, he is survived by his sister Debra Nest and family of Nashua, New Hampshire. He will be deeply missed by his family and his friends, yet all who played an important role in his life will continue to be blessed because of the unique lessons he taught them along the way. He was preceded in death by both of his parents as well as his daughter Sage Warren with whom he will now be reunited.
Friends are invited to calling hours on Nov. 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Guilford Funeral Home, 115 Church St., Guilford. The burial will take place at Storrs Cemetery on Nov. 6 at 11 a.m., followed by a gathering at his daughter’s house in Guilford.
