Thelma Doreen Kinne
August 14, 1931 — January 7, 2020
Mrs. Thelma Doreen Kinne, age 88, of Columbia, Tennessee passed away on Tuesday January 7th, 2020 at Maury Regional Medical Center following a short illness.
Doreen, as she was known by friends and family, was born on August 14th, 1931 in San Francisco, California to Adolph Eric Pedersen and Thelma Imogene Marchus. She was the wife of the late American Airlines Cpt. Kenneth Warren Kinne.
Doreen was the daughter of a San Francisco BAR pilot. She briefly attended the University of California at Berkeley before she was swept off her feet by the love of her life and handsome pilot, Warren Kinne. The early part of their marriage found them bouncing around the United States through various Air Force bases. Adventure and wanderlust were in her blood. Their travels resulted in many cherished friendships throughout the country. Her hobbies include traveling, fishing, camping, and dancing to live music. She held a short but successful career in real estate that ended with the purchase of a hot speed boat. Shortly thereafter she was lovingly given the nickname “grandma zoom zoom.” Doreen was a devoted wife and mother to their three children.
Doreen is survived by her daughters, Linda Kinne (Rob) Johnson of Columbia, Tennessee and Donna Doreen Kinne of Columbia, Tennessee; a niece and 2 nephews; 7 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents: Adolph and Thelma Pedersen; husband: Kenneth Warren Kinne; and son: Craig Warren Kinne.
The family will celebrate Doreen’s life with a private memorial at Doreen’s home on Saturday January 11th.
Williams Funeral Home is assisting the family with the arrangements and online condolences may be made at www.williamsfh.com .
