Connie Hakes Warren

Connie Hakes Warren of Hoschton, Georgia passed into glory on Tuesday, July 5, 2022. She was a spry 101 years of age, having been born on March 21, 1921 in Catchings, Mississippi. She was the youngest of seven children born to Dewitt Clinton and Nancy Howell Hakes. After graduating high school, Connie earned a diploma from Sunflower Junior College, since renamed to Mississippi Delta Junior College. During World War II, Connie worked for the local rationing board, and it was during that time that she met James Warren of Sargent, Georgia. James served in the Army Air Corps and was stationed at Greenville Air Base in Greenville, Mississippi. They were married on July 8, 1944. One year later to the day, their son, James Jr, (Jimmy) was born. After being discharged from the military, the family made their way back to Georgia, moving first to Atlanta. Their daughter, Wanda, was born during this time. While in Atlanta, Connie and James were active and serving members in church, especially at Oakland City Baptist Church. They also opened a children's clothing store in Cascade Heights, known as Connie's Children Shop. In 1969, the family moved to Newnan where most of the extended family lived. James and Connie were members of First Baptist Church of Newnan and Connie also was a long-time serving member of the Pilot Club. While in Newnan, Connie worked for Imperial Properties, but she would eventually become the bookkeeper for Lee-King Drugstore on Newnan's Court Square, where she finally retired, but not until she was in her 70's. After the passing of James in 2009, Connie remained in Newnan until 2012, when she moved to Hoschton, Georgia to live with her son. She is deeply missed and mourned by her son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Shari Warren; daughter and son-in-law, Wanda Warren and Andy Green; grandchildren Tiffany Warren, Adam Baker, and Alisa Baker; great grandchildren Zara and Zachary Williams; and many loved nieces, nephews, and other extended family. Before her death, Connie had requested not to have a funeral service. However, there will be a time of visitation at McKoon Funeral Home, 38 Jackson Street, in Newnan on Friday, July 8, 2022 when family and friends are encouraged to gather to remember Connie.
