Obituary for Betty Virginia Morris
Heaven gained an angel on January 28, 2019. Betty Virginia Morris passed away at the home of her daughter
in Santa Clarita, California, at the age of 91, after a short bout with cancer.
Betty was born in 1927 in Oak Park, Illinois, and came to California in the 1950's. She settled in the Bay
Area, where she met her future husband, William Arthur (Art). They were married in 1957 in San Francisco
Together they travel led the world, visiting Japan, China, Australia, Greece, and Italy, to name just a few
places. Her beloved Art preceded her passing in 2006. Betty has lived with her daughter, Lisa Shea, and
her family in recent years.
Betty had a love of life and an infectious laugh. She enjoyed dining out, shopping, going to church and
spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Betty Virginia is survived by her two children, Daughter Lisa Shea, her husband Ken, and their children
Bryce and Kelsea, and her son Steven Morris, his wife Jeanette and their children, William and Jacqueline.
Betty is, and will continue to be, deeply missed. Yet we take comfort in knowing that she is reunited with
Art, the love of her life.
