When we moved to Greenville fortunately it was across the street from the Lindsey’s. Morn and my mother enjoyed time together appreciating history and genealogy. Morn was always lovely always a true lady always dear to my mother Mary Louise Elkins Shults. She was a gift to many. Fond regards

Dear Family and Friends, Morn was a lovely lady who helped me begin my journey with the DAR. I was broadened as a person by the history I learned, and continue learning. She was a very special person. I am so very sorry for your loss. Love, Deb Peabody

Dear Family and Friends, I’ve known Morn for many years and know what a sweet person she is. We will certainly miss her in Colonial Dames. May you find peace in knowing she is loved and appreciated by many.

Really sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was indeed a very beautiful lady and she did a mighty fine job raising her daughter, an exceptionally nice lady also, if I do say so myself.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
