Sharon Louise

Morrison

Sharon Louise Morrison was born on December 5, 1940 in Emporia, Virginia to Mary and Ralph Jones. She graduated from E.W Wyatt High School in Emporia Virginia in 1957 and moved to New Jersey shortly thereafter. She resided in Teaneck, New Jersey over the last 40 years.

She was united in holy matrimony to Howard James Morrison in December of 1968 and was blessed with one child, Rosa Lee Morrison.

She was a member of Mount Olive Baptist Church from the early 70's until her death.  She was a faithful member of the inspirational and senior choirs.

Sharon was always a hard worker. She worked on her family crop farm from a very young age.  Sharon was employed by Spinnerin Yarns from 1971-1978. She then went to work for John Sexton in 1979 and retired in 1999.

Sharon raised children for many generations.  She loved the babies and they loved her.   The first three things that come to mind when you think of Sharon is her love for the Lord, her laughter and giving sprit.  Praising God and being thankful was the everyday norm.   She would give you the shirt off her back and feed you until you were stuffed.  If you came around the holidays, you were in for a treat because she made a sweet potato pie that would just melt in your mouth. She loved to see people eat and enjoy it; it seemed to put a smile on her face.

Sharon leaves to cherish her memory; husband for almost 50 years, Howard James Morrison; daughter, Rosa Lee Morrison both from Teaneck New Jersey; sister, Iris Jones; and brother, Ralph W. Jones Jr. both from North Carolina. She also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and friends.

Sharon was preceded in death by her parents Mary and  Ralph Jones; siblings Robert Jones, Mildred Jones Bond; and Caroline Jones Nance.

Sharon was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.  She is loved by many and will be remembered often.
