Maxine Morris

She was born in Jonesville, VA to Maud Catron and Mack Henry Snodgrass Dec. 18,

1922.

After graduating from Flatwoods High School she attended Milligan College for two

years. She taught in a one-room school for a year before going to Emory and Henry

College for a degree.

Maxine spent a few months at the Omaha, NB YWCA where she had the experience of

teaching ballroom dancing at Boys Town. Father Flanagan wanted his boys to be

socially adept when they were drafted into the army.

She worked at the YWCA in Knoxville, Tenn. which allowed her to take graduate classes

and where she met her husband Dr. Arthur P. Morris. They married in 1949 and went to

the University of Illinois where he took a degree and she had a baby.

They lived in several states ending up in Massachusetts where Maxine retired from the

Raynham school system.

After her retirement she and her husband spent time rock hunting, gardening, counting

birds and almost rebuilding the house.

Arthur preceded her in death May 14, 2006.
