MYRTLE WALL "JOSEPHINE" MORRIS

Myrtle Wall Morris was born May 25, 1926, to Thomas & Alice Wall in 
Springfield, Louisiana, and has gone to be with our Lord on February 11, 2014.

First Baptist Church in Farmerville, LA. Officiating the services will be Rev. 
Larry Ramsour and Rev. Kurt Auger. Interment will follow at Farmerville City 
Cemetery under the direction of Kilpatrick Funeral Home in Farmerville, LA.

Myrtle was very fond of her home place, surrounded by the strawberry fields of 
her childhood where she enjoyed being with siblings and cousins along the 
Tickfaw River. She began her working career early in life at Sears & Roebuck 
in downtown Hammond. It was during this time that she met her husband, Gayle 
S. Morris, and they were wed on October 25, 1952.

Myrtle had to quickly adjust to military life with her new husband, a US Air 
Force officer, and she became a homemaker. They were stationed on bases from 
New Mexico to Louisiana, Alabama, the Isle of Bermuda, Texas, Georgia and 
Florida. Gayle & Myrtle lived their Christian faith as examples to their six 
children born on five different Air Force bases. After military retirement, 
the Morris family resided in Baton Rouge for five years, and then moved to 
Farmerville where Gayle retired from state education. They were active in 
First Baptist Church during their 30 years in Farmerville before relocating to 
Ruston. Myrtle's life was dedicated to raising her children, and she delighted 
in all her grandchildren & great grandchildren.
