Tooele woman searching for answers after Navajo aunt mysteriously disappears
Hand-woven rugs in Seraphine Warren's Tooele home depict gray mountains and the red mesas of Monument Valley. The farm scenes feature grazing cows and sheep, alongside people and covered wagons.
The phrase, "Bless our Home," graces the bottom of each tapestry.
Warren's aunt, Ella Mae Begay, created the rich textiles. Begay made her living as a professional weaver, selling her creations in Arizona.
"She was very talented as far as actually putting action into her rugs," Warren said, as both small rugs sat in her lap.
The niece now holds on to those woven squares, to remind her of Begay.
"It’s just getting harder to have any more hope that she’s still alive," Warren said. Begay, Warren explained, disappeared from her Sweetwater, Arizona home in the middle of the night between June 14 and 15.
Warren described how it was completely uncharacteristic for the 62-year old, who mostly stayed home during the pandemic. Begay didn't let people inside her house because of COVID-19, Warren said.
