Scott F. Warner

Scott Field Warner passed away peacefully in his own home on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

Born in Douglaston Manor, New York, on June 8, 1929, Scott graduated from Williams College in 1951 and joined the Marine Corps on June 18, 1951. He served in the 7th Marine Regiment and Army Counterintelligence and was released from active duty on May 2, 1953. Scott left the Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant and received a Korean Service Medal with two stars and a United Nations Service Medal.

Following a lengthy sojourn through Europe in an untrusty Renault, Scott returned to the United States and began his career in sales. He worked in both media and finance, dabbling in modeling on the side. Although often thwarted by his erratic serve, he loved tennis and paddle tennis. A voracious reader, he had a special interest in military and political history throughout the ages. Broadway shows and the Philharmonic enriched his life, and he adored several cats over many decades.

Scott is survived by his wife, Carlyn Clayton Brush of Manhattan, NY, as well as his nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his former wife, Thyri Magnusar. He was cared for tenderly and meticulously by Sidonie "Thelma" Fraser in his last four years.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to an organization that provides disadvantaged children with access to early education resources.

A private family service will be held at a later date.
