- Though we are heavy with sorrow, even now, Marge is telling jokes and making them laugh in heaven. Beloved and sweetest mother, and best friend, I will love you always. Marjorie (Berniece) Williams was born on August 5, 1910 to Martha Ann and David J. Williams at the family home on 34 J Street. She was the youngest of eleven children. She graduated from LDS High School and attended the University of Utah from which she graduated in 1933. In 1946 she met and married Leo N. Morriss while working at the Ogden Arsenal. She taught school, principally for the Granite School District, for 30 years. Always hungry for knowledge, she returned to the University of Utah after retiring where she took classes for 15 years, learning everything she could about art, architecture, history and Italian. She loved the arts and was a long-time season ticket patron of Ballet West, Pioneer Theater and the Utah Symphony. She loved musicals, popular composers, bright colors and fabric. Above all, she loved her two children, who were her pride and joy. Marge is survived by many beloved nieces, nephews and countless friends who remember her for having a great sense of humor and an endless repertoire of jokes. But most of all, she is survived by the one who loved her the most and will miss her the most, her best friend and daughter, Julie. Funeral services will be held Thursday, June 27, 2002 at 11:00 a.m. at the Larkin Sunset Lawn Chapel, 2350 E. 1300 So. where family and friends may call Wed. 6-8 p.m. and Thurs. one hour prior to services. Interment Murray City Cemetery..
