West Virginia has lost one of the great ones.
Florine Warden, a self-appointed cheerleader for the Democratic Party who took politics seriously year-round, died Monday, a day after suffering a pre-dawn heart attack at her home in Calloway Heights.
Warden was one of Beckley’s better known and more colorful figures, using her steep front yard overlooking the four-lane on Robert C. Byrd Drive to plug Democratic candidates with massive billboards.
