Lakewood News - January 16 2001
Kenneth E. Morris, age 78, of Lake Odessa, passed away Jan. 13, 2001 at the 
Ionia County Memorial Hospital.  He was born Oct 9, 1922, the son of Glen and 
Irene (Alderink) Morris.  Ken owned and farmed the same place for over 50 years 
and took great pride in working the land and caring for his farm equipment.  He 
spent his winters felling trees and cutting and stacking firewood.  He was a 
licensed airplane pilot for 55 years and flew his planes from a airstrip on his 
farm.  He took much pleasure over the years flying friends and relatives to 
"fly-in" pancake breakfasts.  He was a member of the Elks Lodge of Ionia for 30 
years.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Shirley (Kitch) Morris - his helpmate 
and best friend.  Also surviving are his brothers, Fred (Fran) Morris of Lake 
Odessa and Glen (Eleanor) Morris of Grand Rapids; and numerous nieces and 
nephews. 

Following his wishes, cremation has taken place.  Visitation with the family 
will be on Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2001 from 6:30 - 9 pm at the Koops Funeral Chapel 
in Lake Odessa.  A memorial service will be held on Wednesday at 11 am at Koops 
Funeral Chapel.  Interment will take place in the spring at Balcom Cemetery.  
Memorial contributions may be made in Ken's name to the Ionia County Hospice.  
Arrangements were made by Koops Funeral Home.
