JoAnn Terry Morris, 85, of Greenwood, widow of Bill T. Morris, passed away Monday, August 4, 2025 at her sister, Debra's home, who cared for her tirelessly for the past six months.

Born on December 16, 1939, in Greenwood, she was a daughter of the late James Fred Terry and Etta Shaw Terry.

JoAnn's early career was dedicated to her job at Greenwood Mills, where she worked in the preparation department. After retirement, she devoted many years to patient sitting, offering companionship and care to those in need. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond that, as she also volunteered tirelessly at the Humane Society, where her love for animals shone brightly.
