On this day, we thank God for blessing Moses Morris, Sr. with 78 years of life. He was born in Eastover, SC. on November 4, 1942 to the late John Morris, Sr. and Virginia Morris. He was the sixth of ten children born into this union. On Tuesday, January 26, 2021 he was called home to be with the Lord in eternal peace. Moses was a graduate of Webber High School located in Eastover, SC. in 1961. He later graduated from Allen University in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History.

He began his career at Lakeview Elementary School in Lakeview, SC. and later worked at Geer Gantt High School in Belton, SC. His last tenure was with Westside High School where he became the department head for the school’s Special Education program.
