Grace Evelyn Roland Morris, 87, of the North Fork Community in Black Mountain, NC passed away peacefully Friday, February 5, 2016 and was reunited with her Lord Jesus and her greatly missed husband, Thomas.
Grace was a lifelong resident of Buncombe County. She was a homemaker and farmer most of her life. Grace never knew a stranger and always responded to people as they were leaving “Don’t be strangers, we are peaceable”.
Grace recently survived her husband, Thomas Morris; and her last living sister, Ruth Stroud, who was one of her three siblings.
She is survived by three children, Gordon (Janelda) Morris, Gail (Fred) Shook, and Phillip (Kim) Morris Sr., and she joined her late daughter in Heaven, Janet Cordell. Grace had 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and 5 great-great grandchildren.
Grace “Granny” lived life to the fullest and will greatly be missed. She brought happiness to many and continues to do so in our memories.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held Monday, February 8, 2016, at 2:00 pm at Mountain View Church. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service time at the church.
