DELILAH M. MORRIS
The unexpected ever awaits us as we travel along the pathway of life and we have to partake of grief and sorrow. So it was Sunday morning June 23, 1935, at 11:00 when the death angel visited a home near Nimrod and took away a beloved mother, Delilah M. Morris. She was the widow of William George Morris and was 82 years, 7 months and 25 days old. Until only a few days before her death, she had been in her usual health. When she became ill the family physician was called but he could not stay the hand of death. All that loving hands could do for her was done, but God knows best. She leaves to mourn her loss seven children, three sons and four daughters; Sam Morris, of Woodridge; John T. Morris of Ruth, William Durrette Morris of Nimrod, Ludelia Morris of Earlysville, Emma Morris of Gilbert Station and Polly and Izattie Morris at home. One son, Noah H. Morris preceded her to the grave 12 years ago. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Frances Shiflett, of Nortonsville, and Mrs. Mary Shiflett, of Criglersville. She also leaves 25 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends. She has been a member of the Christian church for 35 years and was ready to go to the bedside of the sick and willing to lend a helping hand to those who she might be able to help. Children were always welcome in her home. She was beloved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed in her home where she always greeted her friends with a smile. We have parted but not forever. The sun goes down to rise up on some other shore. We mourn, but not as those without hope. A burial was at Evergreen Monday afternoon, June 25. The services were conducted by Rev. H. S. Knight, assisted by the Rev. S. H. Coates. The hymns selected were those which she often sang to her children around the fireside years ago. Active pall-bearers were; Homer, Ernest, Jesse, Cecil, Givens, and Clayburn Morris. Four of her granddaughters were flower girls, Susie Lawson and Marie, Margaret and Irene Morris. Mr. E. Y. Vernon was undertaker. Dearest mother you have left us, left this world of care and pain. We tried so hard to save you. But our loss is her eternal gain. No one knows the silent heartache, only those who have lost can tell. Of the grief we bear in silence; for our mother we loved so well. She slumbers so sweetly, let her sleep on. Her suffering is ended, her trouble all gone. Farewell, mother, a long farewell, you must go as well as others; in Heaven I hope we all shall meet - father, mother, sisters, brothers. The family wish express a thanks to the friends and neighbors who were so kind to them during the illness and death of their mother. Her daughter, Mrs. Ludelia Morris, Earlysville, Virginia.

DOLORES E. SHIFFLET MORRISS
Dolores “Dee” Eloise (Shifflet) Morriss, 82, of Saint Johns died early Saturday morning (September 24) at the Alterra Clare Bridge Memory Care Unit in Delta Township two days after suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage. Dee was born on January 27, 1923, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, the daughter of Fred B. and Estelle (Moon) Shifflet. As a little girl she contracted tuberculosis and spent about 18 months in a sanatorium. It was there that she became fascinated with the medical field and decided to become a laboratory technician. Following her graduation from Cuyahoga Falls High School in 1940, Dee attended Kent State University, then transferred to the University of Kentucky where she graduated in 1944. She received straight A’s in her pre-med classes (including organic chemistry). Despite urging by her professors to enroll in medical school, she stuck with her original ambition and became a laboratory technician. Dee met William (Bill) J. Morriss Jr., a GI in uniform, when he cut in on her at a dance at the U. of K. They were married on Groundhog Day, February 2, 1946 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Akron, Ohio, less than a week after Bill was discharged from the Army after serving in France during WWII. They were married for nearly 57 years. Bill took advantage of the GI Bill and enrolled at the University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor. Dee worked at University Hospital until their first daughter was born in 1949. Dee was called to needlework like some are called to the ministry, or music. Her interest in sewing began very early; by the age of three she already loved doing embroidery. As a mother and homemaker, she made most of her clothing, her daughters’ clothing and occasionally tailored her husband’s and son’s suit coats. The more difficult the project was, the better she liked it. She took pride in upholstering her furniture. She refinished all of the woodwork in her house and wallpapered many of its rooms. She also loved roses and at one time she was tending over 250 bushes in her formal gardens. As one of her good friends, Jane Idzkowski, said, “Dee was always busy.” After raising four children, Dee turned her attention to lace making, and in a short time she was teaching classes in bobbin and Honiton lace and was active in the Capital Area Lace Group in Lansing. Dee became skilled in metal-threads embroidery and organized a group of women from St. Johns Episcopal Church. They made new altar hangings, fair linens, kneelers, chasubles and stoles for each of the church seasons. Many of the items were designed by her husband. Dee was active in Child Study Club, the Perrin Palmer Elementary School PTA, St. Johns Woman’s Club, Crystal Sailing Club, St. Johns Episcopal Church, and various lace groups. She also volunteered her services at Family Planning and the Clinton County Migrant Clinic. Bill and Dee moved to Saint Johns in 1952 after Bill graduated from U of M Law School. In 1955 Bill and Dee bought their home at 208 W. State Street where they raised their four children. Dee lived there until March of this year after which she took up residence at the Alterra memory care facility in Delta Township. She is survived by four children, Jane Morriss of St. Johns; Carol Morriss of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Lee Morriss-Mueller of Atoka, Tennessee; and William “Jud” Morriss III of Conroe, Texas; six grandchildren, Jeremy Miller of West Virginia; Jesse Simmons of Ayer, Massachusetts; Brian Rueckert of St. Johns, William J. Morriss IV and Heather Morriss of Spring, Texas; and Halie Hodge of Conroe, Texas; five great grandchildren, Cory Miller, Kyle Miller, Tyler Miller, Travis Jack Miller, and Nathan Nicholas Miller, all of Hanoverton, Ohio. Dee was preceded in death by her husband and one brother, Fred B. Shifflet Jr. Funeral services will be held 10:00 A.M. Wednesday, September 28, 2005 at the St. Johns Episcopal Church with the Rev. Richard Anderson officiating. The family will receive friends 5-7 P.M. Tuesday at the Osgood Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to St. Johns Episcopal Church, St. Johns.

ELDON ALEXANDER MPORRIS

Eldon Alexander "Sonny" Morris, 83, passed away at his home in Brown's Cove, Virginia on November 6th, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. Sonny was born December 30th, 1939 to Alec and Vernie Morris. Sonny fought a long courageous battle with a multitude of health issues including four strokes, a brain tumor, and heart failure. His battle with serious medical issues showed his courage in facing life challenges with determination and a smile. Despite the pain, Sonny never gave up and stayed strong until the very end. Sonny was preceded in death by his wife Mary. Mary and Sonny married after a short courtship on June 4th, 1960, and remained married for 57 years, until Mary's death in 2017. He is survived by their two children, Sue Houchens (Ben) of Crozet, Virginia, Richie Morris (Jin) of Florida, and a foster son, Jeff Rosson of Charlottesville, Virginia along with six siblings whom he loved dearly, Mary Morris, Jenny Perkins, Ruth Morris, Betty Nosar, Judy Morris, and Larry Morris. Sonny was also survived by four cherished grandchildren, Richard Morris(Meagan) of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Samantha Halterman (Jeremy) of Waynesboro, Virginia, Kori Morris of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Heather Franklin (James) of Crozet, Virginia Additionally, Sonny felt blessed to have 6 precious great- grand children who he adored, Lilliana and Boston Morris of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Brooklyn and Brianna Franklin of Crozet, Virginia, Savannah Halterman of Waynesboro, Virginia, and Jaxson Anderson of Charlottesville, Virginia and too many beloved nieces and nephews to mention. Sonny grew up working on his father's farm in Greene County but ventured out on his own at an early age, first working at the University of Virginia where he became an avid Cavalier sports fan. He cheered the Wahoos on at basketball and football games for over 40 years, until Mary's health issues made it impossible for them to attend. Sonny was also a passionate LA Dodgers fan, staying up until the wee hours of the morning watching them play. After marrying, Sonny and Mary moved to Crozet where they worked at Acme Visible Records for 17 years. He and Mary left Acme to open a family business, Morris' Grocery, which they operated together for 23 years. Ever the thinker and hard worker, knowing that with Mary's medical issues, his family needed good health insurance, Sonny began driving a school bus for Albemarle County while running his business. The accomplishment that he declared he was most proud of in his life was keeping the children safe on his bus for 30 years. Sonny wished to be remembered for having the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood, he loved mowing grass and continued to do so up until the last 3 months of his life. He also wanted to be remembered for coaching little league baseball for many years, for being a hard worker who generously provided for his family and gave to those in need, and for being a member(and trustee) of Brown's Cove United Methodist Church for 63 years. When he wasn't working two jobs, Sonny had a competitive spirit and had to be the best in everything he did, he was an amazing checkers player, having beaten the former state champion. He also enjoyed playing cards, chess, and gardening. Sonny's family wants to thank Hospice of the Piedmont, and Jessica Batten for their exceptional care during his last days along with his physical therapist, Luke James, who literally helped him get back on his feet, and his speech therapist, Sharon Millner who helped him learn how to swallow and talk again after suffering through stroke after stroke. A visitation for Sonny will be held Saturday, November 11, 2023 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Teague Funeral Home, 2260 Ivy Rd, Charlottesville, Virginia 22903.

She was the mother of 11 children, five sons and six daughters: Doff, Quinet, Will, Panda, Anna, Henrietta, Flossie, Lillie, Clyda, and Zuleman. She was a loving mother, a good wife, a kind neighbor and a devoted Christian, having been a member of the Christ church about 40 years. She was a daughter of the late O’Ferrall Shiflett, of Shifletts Hollow, who was one of the first men to unite with the Christian church in that section. Mrs. Morris was admired by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband who is years older than she was and all her children, and grand children and many other relatives and friends. Her funeral service was conducted by Elder H. S. Knight in the presence of a large host of friends who had come to show this last expression of respect to one whom they loved at Evergreen church. Her body was tenderly laid to rest in Mt.

This was a home that one who visited it once always wanted to return again. Such is life we can say with the poet: It is not all of life to live, Nor all of death to die, Beyond this vale of tears We hope to have a home in the sky. By one who knew her.
