Anita Marie (Warner) Hall-Cochran

Anita Marie (Warner) Hall-Cochran, 63, of Kokomo, Indiana, passed away on July 5th, 2025, surrounded by her loving family and friends.

Anita was born on December 23, 1961, in Kokomo to Robert Leo Warner (deceased) and Judith (Myers) Warner. She attended Taylor High School. Over the years, she dedicated herself to a variety of roles, working at Cone Palace, UPS, Kokomo Spring, and eventually becoming a Regional Trainer and Store Manager for Dollar Tree.

After her professional career, Anita embraced her favorite role, being a stay-at-home grandmother. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren and took great pride in their lives.

Anita was deeply committed to honoring veterans and fallen heroes. She proudly served as a Senior Ride Captain for the Indiana Patriot Guard and as an Escort Coordinator for the Gold Star Traveling Wall. She also organized the Never Forget Our Fallen Heroes ride—a powerful tribute to local KIAs and Gold Star families—which stands as a testament to her unwavering dedication to remembrance and service. This July, the ride will celebrate its 18th year.

Anita is survived by her devoted spouse of 25 years, Andrew Cochran; her children, Joshua Hall of Sharpsville and Amanda (Andrew) Schaeffer of Burlington; her beloved grandchildren Ellie Hall, Elizabith Crimson Knapp, Emilee Schaeffer, Eliot Schaeffer, and great granddaughter Kaliyah Hall; her siblings Kimberly Foster, Teri Rose, Genevieve (Jason) Weaver, Robert (Heather) Warner and Brian Brown. She also leaves behind several cherished nieces and nephews.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, July 19, 2025 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at 4:00 p.m. at Shirley & Stout Funeral Home & Crematory, 1315 W Lincoln Road, Kokomo, IN. Following the service, a procession will accompany Anita to her home for a final tribute. In keeping with her deep commitment to the veteran and motorcycle communities, all motorcyclists are warmly invited to ride in her honor.

At Anita’s request, guests are encouraged to wear patriotic attire—no suits, please. She wanted her celebration to reflect the love of country and community that defined her life.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Courage Rock, https://couragerock.rocks/contact-us and the Tribute to Americas Fallen Foundation - Gold Star Tribute Wall, www.tributewall.org, both are causes that were close to Anita’s heart.
