On January 26th, 2024, Connie Joyce Morris entered into the presence of her Savior at the age of 81.

Connie was born on January 31st, 1942, in Alderson, West Virginia. After graduating from Alderson high school in 1959, she moved to San Diego, California. She met her future husband at Balboa Park Baptist Church where they were married in 1960 and they began raising a family. She served as a church secretary as well as in the office of their family-owned print shop, but her primary occupation was that of homemaker/wife/mother, tasks that brought her the greatest joy and satisfaction. She was a faithful servant of the local churches that she attended and could be found singing in the choir or working with children in Sunday school and Vacation Bible School or cooking food for students at church camps. In her later years, she worked in church daycare centers, rocking babies and continuing to love and serve the youngest among us. Connie was a member of Chilhowee Hills Baptist Church, where she joined after being a member of Sevier Heights Baptist Church with her husband.
