Agnes Warren Sciple

Mrs. Agnes Warren Sciple, 81, of Selmer, TN passed away after a lengthy illness on Thursday, February 21, 2013 at McNairy Health Care Center in Selmer.

She was a native of Kemper Co. MS, born to the late James and Jessie Coker Warren. She was longtime resident of Noxubee and Kemper Counties in Mississippi and had moved to Selmer in 2003 to be near her son when her health declined.
Mrs. Agnes was educated in the Kemper County public schools. She worked at Noxubee General Hospital in Macon MS in the housekeeping department for many years and later worked at the Tender Years childcare program of First Baptist Church in Macon. After retirement, she operated a small childcare operation at her home in Macon. She had also lived in Dekalb MS for a number of years and had kept children there as well. As is obvious, her gift was caring for children and she was much loved by all the children she came in contact with over the years. She loved being with her own family and also enjoyed flower gardening when she had the time.
