Marjorie Morris

Marjorie Lee Morris, 97, of Waldwick, NJ, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 1, 2025. Born in Philadelphia, PA, she grew up in Audubon, NJ and moved to Waldwick in 1950, where she resided since.
Marjorie Morris (nee Bradbury) is a descendant from the Bradburys of Massachusetts that arrived in the US in the 1600s and who were involved in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
She is also related to Mary Bradbury who was convicted of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. One of her ancestors also arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts on the Mayflower and her middle name is traced back to the Lees of Virginia.
Marjorie attended Ursinus College in Pennsylvania, where she was majoring in Microbiology, though, her father always complained she was majoring in knitting and bridge. She loved her vacations at the New Jersey shore, where her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren would gather each summer for 42 years. She was an avid member of her senior center and loved line dancing 3-4 times a week for many years.
Marjorie is survived by: her daughter Peggy Kievit of Waldwick, NJ, and her granddaughter Jennifer Davis and her husband Dan of Hewitt, NJ; her son Paul "Brad" Morris and his wife Anita of Ridgefield, CT, her grandson Scott Morris Chase of Brooklyn, NY, his wife Anna and her great-grandson Calvin, her granddaughter Charlotte Petty of Manassas, VA, her husband Matthew and her two great-granddaughters Cora and Callie; and her son Jeffrey Morris and his wife Jennifer of Hillsdale, NJ. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 52 years Paul in 1999.
There will be a memorial service at St. Bartholomew's Church, 70 Sheridan Ave., Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ in December. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Marjorie's memory may be made to St. Bartholomew's Memorial Garden or to your Regional Hospice.
