Lottie and her family relocated to New Haven, CT, in the early 1960’s. She worked for Griswald Home Care for many years. Her care was so exceptional that she was requested over and over by clients and family members of clients. Her occupation as a care giver extended far beyond the job. Lottie loved and cared for people from her family to her neighbors. Sister Morris was a member of the House of God Church for over 30 years. She was also a member of the Eastern Stars for many, many years. She loved attending meetings with the ladies of the Order and enjoyed the charitable works they had done. In 2018, Sister Lottie joined Encouraging Word Church. Lottie raised her grandchildren with love, care, and without complaint. Her pearls of wisdom were reassuring. She was a true and trusted confidant. Her family will always remember how she expressed her love to them. It was through her cooking! At any given moment, you could expect a phone call to come and eat! Monday’s meant that you’d get fried chicken and a pot of beans! On weekends, everyone would come together to eat. Lottie would feed anyone! She was also a master spades and bid whist player.
