Kathleen "Kathy" Morris (nee Grispon), age 84, of Eagles Mere, died peacefully Saturday, April 5, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Kathleen was born in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. She attended grade school at The Immaculate Conception, where she met her future husband, Arthur, while in the 7th grade. She later graduated from Little Flower High School.
Throughout their early years, Kathleen and Arthur played a special role in the lives of the Grispon siblings, regularly caring for them and organizing trips to the beach, the boardwalk, movies, and other fun outings-all while maintaining full-time jobs at Bell Telephone, Kelly Girls, and the Five and Ten. After her children were raised, Kathy worked for Dr. Bianchi as an office manager for 25 years.
