Deacon Leandro “Prunt” Childs, 84, of Warren, passed away November 23, 2022. Born April 18, 1938, he was a son of the late Adelbert Childs and Ada Thomas. He attended school in Banks and Hermitage.
He moved to California at a young age and worked various jobs, including driving trucks throughout southern California. He relocated to Warren, AR. in 1993 and married Alice Kelly. He finished his work career
at Maxwell Flooring in Monticello, AR. and remained there after retiring.
He never gave up after health problems and it was still a familiar sight to pass his home and see him mowing his lawn, changing oil or replacing a spare tire in his condition.

Leandro is survived by his wife, Alice Childs; daughters, Henrietta Collins of Warren, Jerrilyn Childs of Milwaukee, WI., Kathy Tillman of Fresno, CA.; siblings, Walter Thomas, James Callum, Nancy Floyd, Mary
