Donella Morris

Donella Morris was born in Alva, Oklahoma August 8, 1943, the youngest daughter of Bud & Elsie Williams. She left for her heavenly home on April 4, 2026. The celebration of Donella’s life will be at 2:00 pm on April 10, 2026 at Hampton Vaughan Crestview Chapel, 1917 Archer City Hwy, Wichita Falls, Texas.

Donella was a follower of Jesus Christ who chose to worship at Fairway Baptist Church. She was a participating member of her church wherever she lived. Her greatest profession was that of a stay-at-home mom. As her children grew up, Donella went back to school and earned her associate’s degree in early childhood education. She taught Sunday school, Awana, and pre-school Eden Hills Baptist Church for several years. She worked at John Tower Elementary as a special education aide, then spent a few years at the Child Development Center and Human Resources Office at Sheppard Air Force Base. She loved and nurtured the children she taught, and many have expressed their good memories of those early years to her personally and through their parents. However, her greatest love was her Lord and Savior, which she shared a personal relationship with. She loved her church family and enjoyed worshiping with them as well as her neighbors, ministering to them as well.

Surviving Donella is George, husband of 63 years, son Bob and wife Trina, daughter Danna and husband Scott West, and son Vance and wife Mitzi. Six precious grandchildren: Kaleigh and husband Colby Wilson, Matt and wife, Meredith West, Garrett and wife Haley Kelley, Grace and husband Hayden Berend, and Gavin Morris. Five great grandchildren: Kaison & Maggie Morris, Calvin & Owen West, and Lainey Berend.

She was preceded in death by her parents Bud and Elsie Williams, sisters, Patricia Clark and Connie Townley, daughter-in-law Karen Morris & grandson, Bobby Morris.

The family will receive visitors at Hampton Vaughan Crestview Funeral Home, 1917 Archer City Hwy, Wichita Falls, TX, on April 9, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

Rather than flowers, Donella would want a donation to me made to her place of worship, Fairway Baptist Church, Wichita Falls, Texas.
