Audrey Jane Morris, 94, of Fort Wayne, passed away on November 30, 2019. Born on March 6, 1925, in Baltimore, Maryland, she was the daughter of the late Thomas J. and Ethel (Suehle) Schreiber.
Jane graduated from The University of Maryland in Home Economics, and was also the founding/first charter president of the Delta Gamma Sorority at The University of Maryland in 1945. She continued to be active in Delta Gamma her entire life - even attending the founder's day luncheon earlier this year. She earned her Master's degree from Indiana University in 1978, and continued to teach school until she retired, in 1985. In 1964 she and her husband, Earl, started The Plantation Supply Company in Maplewood Plaza (lawn and garden), and then moved it to Coldwater and Cook Roads in 1986 (the land is where the Marathon station is now), at one point also having a location on Lower Huntington and Winchester Road, in Waynedale. She traveled the world from Australia to Tahiti to Europe to Alaska, and with her husband loved traveling in their RV, particularly enjoying southern Texas. She was also a member of the local Fort Wayne Book Club, The Fort Wayne Writer's club (Scribes), and published her autobiography at age 82. Jane was also a member of the Alley Cats dance group, once traveling to Germany for a special performance. She was a member of The First Presbyterian Church of Downtown Fort Wayne since 1960, and always believed in goodness, people, community, and was a true social butterfly. She loved her birthplace, and her extended family in Baltimore, and frequently went back to visit (staying with her sister-in-law Anni Schreiber and nephew Kurt in Towson, Md). She was the most giving mother, and dearly loved her children. She will forever be remembered as one of the best mothers and individuals God has put on this earth.
She is survived by her daughter, JoElyn Morris, of Fort Wayne; sons, Douglas Morris, of Indianapolis, Kenneth Morris, of Costa Rica, Robert (Jovelyn) Morris, and Richard Morris, both of San Diego, California; and grandchildren, Halie Morris, of New York, New York, Kaiyah Morris, of Indianapolis, and Robbie Morris, of San Diego, California.
She was also preceded in death by her husband, Earl W. Morris; and brothers, Thomas S. and Graydon L. Schreiber.
