Charles was born to Willie Mae and Jaice Morris in Orville, Alabama on a joyful day on June 23, 1931. On Saturday, February 20, 2021 at the age of 89, Charles E. Morris transitioned to be in the presence of the Lord. After leaving Alabama, he enlisted in the U.S. Army after serving his country, he retired and became a U.S. Veteran. He began traveling to and from many states. He reunited with his brothers. He later reunited with his sister Jettie in Saginaw, Michigan, that’s where he found the love of his life, Essie Pearl. They were married for many years until death parted them. He was a member of Zion Baptist Church for many years. He loved watching golf, tennis, political show and spending time with the family. He was a happy go lucky guy, full of jokes and laughter. He loved his tacos, fish and okra, joking with his sister about her cooking while having coffee and breakfast every morning. We call them the Golden Girls. He will truly be missed but never forgotten.
