Edwin William Warmby Jr.

Edwin William Warmby, Jr., August 3, 1933-February 18, 2022, Wilton, CA.

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of our Patriarch. He was a Christian Brother, Sacramento City College Graduate, Veteran of the United States Army, landscaper, and later owner and successful businessman of POW Wholesale Nursery in Wilton, CA.

Bill’s spirit and joy of life endeared him to everyone whom he met. He was predeceased by his first love of his life and wife, Ann Puccinelli and later in life his second love of his life and wife, Christa Kropp-Leuthold. In retirement, he traveled the world with Christa until her passing in 2016. His love of life and passion for family and friends, of countless rounds of golf with his golfing buddies, and of Friday lunches with family were highlights of his later years.

Bill is survived by his sister Betty Binsfeld, son Edwin III (Alyce) Warmby, daughter Diann (Hunter) Johnson, stepdaughters Denice (Henry) Hornbaker and Renee (George) Panagos. He is dearly loved by his many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Bill will be interred at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, 5810 Midway Road, Dixon, CA, on Monday, March 21. Military funeral honors and Taps will begin promptly at 10:00AM. A short Committal service will follow officiated by a Pastor from the Creekside Christian Church.

Masks are encouraged at both the viewing and Committal Service at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery.
