Warren Nolan Obituary Warren C. Nolan January 31, 2021 Warren C. Nolan, 88, of Marietta, NY, a retired high school history teacher and school administrator, passed away on Sunday, January 31, 2021. Warren will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. Born on July 3, 1932 in Queens, NY, Warren married his high school sweetheart, Marie McNichol, in 1956 before settling in West Islip for 30 years. They then moved to beautiful Otisco Lake where they spent the next 25 years and enjoyed many sunsets together. They most recently lived in the Nottingham in Jamesville, NY, where they made new friends amongst their fellow residents and staff. Warren graduated from Regis High School (1950) and went on to receive a B.A. in History from St. Peter's University (1954) and an M.A. in History from the University of Notre Dame (1956). After serving in the Army Reserve (1957), Mr. Nolan worked as a teacher and high school administrator for Long Island schools for over 30 years and directed the CNY Civil Liberties Union in Syracuse, NY. He was also a devoted parishioner at St. Patrick's Church in Otisco, NY and a Board member of the Friends of the Marcellus Library. Those who own homes on Otisco Lake will also remember Warren's tireless and successful efforts to bring city water to the lake. Warren loved reading and spending time with his late wife, Marie, at their home on Otisco Lake. He also loved telling stories of his life to his eight grandchildren, other family, and friends. He had an uncanny ability to understand current events and stayed sharply curious until his last day.
