On Sunday, December 20, 2020, Thomas "Tommy" Lee Morris passed peacefully, at Quality Comfort Care, an assisted living home, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Thomas was born August 27, 1936 in Burkittsville, Maryland to Robert Ambrose Morris and Fannie Butler Morris.
On August 24, 1956, Thomas enlisted in the United States Army and served overseas in Korea. Upon his return to the States he was stationed in various states including Alaska and Kentucky, before returning to Maryland. Thomas received the National Defense Service Medal and was Honorably discharged on November 24th, 1961. After discharge, Thomas was nominated and accepted as a member of the American Legion.
On June 25, 1959, Thomas married his loving wife Sylvia Jean Campbell. To this union came 2 children Thomas J. Morris and Ruth Ann Minor. Additionally, Thomas and Sylvia played a significant part in the lives of children in the community.
