Helen Louise Warde, 95, a retired business owner and resident of Baton Rouge 
since 2001, died at 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, July 17, 2008, at Hospice of Baton 
Rouge, following a courageous battle with breast cancer. Helen was born July 
11, 1913, in Spokane, Wash. Her mother, Zena Theobold, taught piano lessons in 
their small apartment during the Great Depression. This is, most likely, where 
her deep appreciation for classical music was born. Her accomplishments were 
many. Most notably, she served as editor-in-chief of the Phoenix Gazette in 
the late 1950s. At age 65, she purchased and single-handedly ran a small dress 
boutique in the Oakland, Calif., estuary. She sold the business at age 78 and 
enjoyed her friends and family while residing in Walnut Creek, Calif. Preceded 
in death by her beloved son, Kenneth Warde; and grandson-in-law, Kevin Moore. 
Survived by her long time beau, Harry Mannering; her only daughter, Connie 
Warde Selmanoff; two grandchildren, Justin Selmanoff and Lisa Moore Teer and 
her husband Jason Teer; as well as two great-grandchildren, Nina and Nathan 
Moore. A private memorial in her honor took place Sunday morning at her 
granddaughter's residence in Baton Rouge.
