Elizabeth Morris Obituary
Betty Elizabeth Elaine Engel Morris departed this life on October 7, 2025, when she was welcomed into the loving arms of her savior, the Lord Jesus.
Born in Roswell on October 14, 1952, Betty was a devoted family member, a cherished member of several Christian churches in Roswell, and a loyal friend to many.
Betty will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, and lively spirit. Throughout her life, Betty connected to others with her bright, winning smile. She loved her pets - cats and dogs alike.
Betty was a product of Roswell public school, a 1970 graduate of Roswell High. She also graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in Portales with a bachelor's degree in accounting. After high school, she resided a few years in Lubbock, Texas.
