Lulu Lee Morris was born August 1, 1918, to Joe and Rosa Morris in Badger Lee, Oklahoma. She went to join her heavenly father October 14, 2015. She was 97 years old.

Lulu graduated from Vian High School, Bacone College, and earned her B.A. and Master’s Degree from Northeastern.

She began her teaching career in 1943 at Wickett School, a one roomed rural school house just south of Webbers Falls. She taught one year in Seven Sisters, Texas, and then two years in Porter. She started teaching in Muskogee in 1949 at Sequoyah, later at Houston, ending her career at Franklin in 1968.

She married Roy Sallee in 1939. From that union one daughter, Linda Rose Sallee, was born. That marriage was dissolved.

She married Earl Boggs February 1, 1946.

Lulu gave her life to Jesus at an early age. She joined First Baptist Church in 1950. She loved her church and church family.

Earl and Lulu loved to travel. They spent many years after retirement traveling across the United States for simple enjoyment and to libraries and cemeteries to work on her genealogy.

She started searching her ancestry in 1957. Her family has been blessed with research she has done on her Indian ancestry and her English ancestry. She has provided copies for each grandchild, and each great-grandchild.

Lulu Lee Boggs was the most loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother.
