Please share a memory of Mary to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Mary "Alice" Morris, 98, died peacefully after a long illness on January 11th, 2015 in Bedford, NH with family and friends at her side. Mary Alice was born on June 13th, 1916 to Jacob and Zula Mae Conley on the family farm in Etters, PA. In November 1945 she married US Army Air Corps TSGT John A. Morris in a ceremony at York, PA. After their marriage, the couple moved to Deansboro, NY, where they resided until Johnny's death in 1976. In 1950, they welcomed their only son, "Chuck" into their lives. As a mom she was patient and nurturing, always there with loving words of encouragement and direction. Mary Alice was a dedicated wife and housekeeper, who was passionate about her church and community. She was an active member of the Deansboro Congregational United Church of Christ for over 50 years, teaching Sunday School, serving on church boards, and helping with suppers and church cleaning. After John's death in 1976, she moved to Clinton, NY where she also spent many years attending the Stone Presbyterian Church, and travelling in Europe, Israel and the US with her son and dear friend Helen Franz. In 2006, Mary Alice moved to Manchester, NH to be closer to family, where she regularly attended The First Church (UCC) Nashua, NH and was known by all as a kind, welcoming and loving person. Mary Alice is survived by her brother Ray S. Conley of Cape Coral, FL, her son, Charles Morris, and "adopted" son, Mark Gordon, both of Manchester, NH. She is preceded in death by her husband, John Morris, along with six brothers and four sisters. A funeral is scheduled for 11AM on Saturday, January 17th, 2015 at Deansboro Congregational United Church of Christ. Calling hours will be at the church from 10-11AM, with a reception to follow the funeral. Rev. Ed Townsend will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Mary Alice's life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Alzheimer's Association, P.O. Box 96011, Washington, DC 20090-6011 Her "son's" would also like to thank the staff at Bedford Hills Care and Rehabilitation Center for their dedicated care and kindness to both Mom and us during her time there.
