Bio by Cheryll Morris Sumner:
John Oliver Morris, her grandson, described Nancy this way: " Nancy Alice Morris, George's wife, was petite, about 5'3", 120 lbs., dark hair and a fair complexion.

In Memory of Grandmother
On June 29, 1938, the death angel visited the home of Mr. G. W. MORRIS, Sr., and took from him his beloved wife. Only those who have lost dear ones can imagine the pain and sorrow which filled our hearts when her last breath left her. She had been confined to her bed for several months with cancer, and although everything possible to do was done, nothing ever drove away her suffering. Only God put her at rest.
She made her home near Red Level for several years, but the first of 1938 she moved to her daughter's in Georgiana and remained there until her death. She was 67 years old, had a large family, and was looked after and cared for to the very last.
And now, dear grandmother, since you have gone and left us, it seems as if my heart will break, for only God knows how I loved you, trusted you, and how I miss your tender voice and body. I shall never forget your loving ways and sweet disposition. You have always been the dearest and sweetest grandmother a child could possess. When I saw you, cold and still in your beautiful casket, I thought of your kindness to me, and I could hardly bear to see you leave me in this sinful world. I hope that when my life on earth is over, I'll have a new home in Heaven, where I'll meet you, darling, and our other loved ones, and where we can rejoice and be exceedingly glad.
When the trumpet sounds, if it can be my Father's will, I will meet you in the morning where we'll never part again.
The deceased is survived by her husband and the following children: Mrs. C. D. SHINE, Columbus, Ga.; Mrs. C. A. ARMSTRONG, Georgiana, Ala.; Mr. Jim MORRIS, Chapman, Ala.; Mr. Y. E. MORRIS, Webster, Fla.; G. W. MORRIS, Jr., W. E. MORRIS, J. O. MORRIS, A. A. MORRIS, and Mr. Joe PATTERSON, all of Red Level, Ala. and many other relatives, including 31 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.
To all those who read my article and all who have a dear grandmother, take my advice: Be kind to her, honor and respect her while she lives, for when she's gone, you can do no more for her.--Mary Alice MORRIS, Red Level, Alabama.
