Ada Elizabeth Morphis

Ada Elizabeth Morphis, aged 85 , was born on March 5, 1936 and passed away on October 31, 2021 after struggling for several years with worsening health conditions. While her final years were marked by illness, she knew she was loved deeply by her family, friends, and all those who prayed for her healing in support.

Ada was born to parents Louis and Carmen Cook in La Junta, Colorado. She had a large family. She was the youngest of siblings James, Robert and Helen.

In her Junior year of High School, Ada met Chester Morphis of Rocky Ford, CO and fell deeply in love. They were married on July 10 1953. They soon gave birth to their daughter Sharon Ann Morphis. After their son Eldon Jr. was born, they picked up the roots they had planted in Colorado Springs and moved to Southern California.

Chester and Ada built a beautiful life for their family. Ada worked in the Albertsons bakery for decades while her husband worked at UPS. They were hard workers and retired after having achieved the American Dream.

Their children married after High School. Sharon married Michael Hall and Eldon married Judy Mazzola. Their marriages stand strong to this day.

Ada loved her grandchildren deeply. Amie, Brian (Daniele), Joshua (Banjee the Dog) and Jacob (Megan) each had their own unique relationship with her. Holiday memories were created through Easter egg hunts and lighted Christmases adorn with presents (and lots of trains!). Ada and Chester were blessed even more when her great-grandchildren Corbin, Jace, and Owen came into their world. Many people are not blessed with lives as rich as the one Ada was afforded.

Ada leaves this earth not only as a loving wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Sister, and Aunt. She was a friend. She was a confidant. She was a provider. She was tough. She was kind. She was contemplative. But most of all, she loved God and it was her relationship with Him that made her final days bearable and ultimately rewarding. She is now walking hand in hand with her husband Chester and her Lord Jesus Christ. Her life is not one to be mourned, but to be celebrated in love and reflection.
