Heart attack claims political activist Florine Warden

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.
