Some years later, she married Frank Warren. Together, they began to build new churches in Durango, Mexico. The couple had two children.

Why this record matters
“Marcos Witt” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Marcos, Witt and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2407212. VIAF identifies the subject as 6709261. The Library of Congress control number is n98054652. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1962, 1960 and 1964.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
