Edna D. Morris

Edna D. Morris, 101, of Central City, died on Sunday, February 6, 2022 at Merrick Medical Center in Central City. The family has chosen to have a Celebration of Life Service at a later date. Edna was born on January 11, 1921 in Cushing, NE to Luther and Henrietta (Hagy) Fogelsong. She had one sibling, a sister Ella Fogelsong. She spent her childhood on a farm north of Palmer, NE and graduated from Cushing High School in 1938. She then married Adolph Morris on March 20, 1942. They farmed east of Polk, NE. Much of Edna’s time was spent gardening, canning, raising chickens, and caring for their 8 children. Edna was an active member of Swede Plain United Methodist Church and continued to have a relationship with Methodism for many years. The family moved to Central City in 1966 and she was employed by Litzenberg Memorial Hospital for over 30 years as a nursing assistant. After a mission trip in 1986 to Grace Children’s Hospital in Port-a-Prince, Haiti, she expressed her caring and love for those in need by sewing diapers (thousands of diapers) that were shipped to this hospital. In the last 10 years Edna continued to support Mission Heart who shipped the diapers, dresses, and quilts for children living in third world countries. Edna was an avid card player and was the organizer of several card clubs. She volunteered for the Litzenberg Hospital Thrift Store for many years and also served on the board of the Central City Senior Center. She was an excellent cook and shared her culinary products with many organizations, her family, and friends. Anyone who had a piece of her coconut crème pie certainly remembers eating it. She joined her heavenly home with those that preceded her in death, her parents; husband Adolph, sister Ella Fogelsong, and eldest son Donald E. Morris, grandson, Tanner Bramman, great granddaughter, Jerika Mills, and great-great grandson, Bentley Stuhr. Those who will miss her, cherish her memory and love her are her children; Dorothy Morris (wife of Donald) of Prescott, AZ, Roger and Cheryl (Sagehorn) Morris of York, Dennis and Linn (Elsasser) Morris of Kearney, Louise and Bud Mills of Auora, Betty and Terry Stephenson of Central City, Deb and Alan Harlow of Lincoln, Barb Richards of Central City, and Michael Morris of Loveland, OH, plus many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.
