She graduated from Highland Park High School and went on to the University of Texas where she earned her bachelors' degree. Her love in life was being a member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority while at the University. After graduation, she married John Milton Morris at Highland Park United Methodist Church and attended Church there for the rest of her life. After marrying, they lived in Austin for a short while before moving to Dallas. She was a member of the Dallas Country Club and always treasured her many friends there. Her second home was Cuchara, Colorado where she spent many summers and some winter days enjoying the serenity of the small community. She loved the mountains, but loved her friends in the mountains much more. Her Honorary Pallbearers include Herbert Hunt, Starke Taylor, Don Houseman, Jim Vandeveer, Red McCombs of San Antonio, Gage Pritchard, Ned Davis of Harlingen and Kiefer Marshall of Temple.
