Paul Mark Morris 10/9/1917 ~ 8/8/2011 Our loving husband and father, Paul Mark Morris, has now "Gone Home" to his Heavenly Father.He was born in American Falls (Readyville), Idaho, the fourth of 12 children to Sarah and Parley Morris. His steadfast faith in Christ and example extends to his large posterity and all who know and love him. His LDS mission to the Southern States laid the foundation for his life. He married his sweetheart, Helen D. Abraham, in the Salt Lake Temple on February 6, 1945, while serving in the U.S. Air Corps. Their mission to South Africa in 1988 was a highlight of their life together. He served as a Bishop and in many other callings and was a faithful home teacher. Paul and Helen have been blessed with eight children: Brent (Shauna), Susan (Chris) Swain, Bonnie (Steven) Shaw, Dixie (Jack) Sloan, Diane (Bill) Wilson, Carol (Chuck) Schmitt, Gem (Eileen), and Steven (Penny). They have 30 grands, 40 greats. He loved the little children and they loved him. He is also survived by his loving wife, two sisters, Mavis Oswald, Cherryl Rose and brother, Grant Morris. The family would like to extend a heart-felt thanks to the wonderful staff at Alta Ridge and CareSource for their loving and tender care of dad. Paul's farewell service will be held Saturday, August 13, 12:00 p.m. at the Cottonwood Acres Ward, 981 E. 5600 So. (Revere Cir.) with a viewing from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. prior to services and Friday evening from 6 - 8 p.m. at Murray Memorial Mortuary, 5850 So. 900 E.
What a great example in our lives. We sure are going to miss him, but we know he is now in a better place. Love you.
