General George Pierce Howell and Felicia North Chisolm of Columbia. Like her father, both of her grandfathers and her maternal great-grandfather were West Point graduates and career Army officers. As a young girl, her father was stationed in the Philippines and in China for several years prior to the United States’ entry into World War II. She and her sister “Pixie” went to school by mule-drawn wagon, drank goat’s milk, came upon 2 shrunken heads on poles while on a picnic and shared many other memories of their time in the Far East. After the war broke out the family lived in Fort Lewis, Washington and later in Fort Benning, Georgia where her father served as commandant of the Parachute School. She and Bo lived an active and happy life together in Charleston, SC for more than 65 years, the last 20 of which were spent in Cashiers, North Carolina in the summers. She lived life on her own terms, taught many neighborhood boys how to toe the line and was fiercely loyal to Bo and her children, her friends and her many dogs. She was a co-founder and proprietor of The Boutique, a member of the Colonial Dames, served on the board of the Huguenot Society and was a founding member of the Carolina Assembly. She was preceded by her husband William McG. “Bo” Morrison and her 1st son William McG. Morrison III which died in infancy.
