Asheboro - Wilhelmina "Will" Mae Morris, 77 of Asheboro passed away on August 23, 2025, at Randolph Hospice House.

Will was born in Durham, NC on June 7, 1948, to the late Frances and Zelma Morris. Family was everything to Will. She was a caregiver to everyone. Will was a Ward Secretary at Randolph Hospital, she then earned her Master's in Nursing from Davidson Community College. Will continued working at Randolph Hospital and began to teach nursing classes at Randolph Community College.

Will was a devoted and loving person especially to her grandchildren. Will loved spending time with her family from holidays to going out to eat. She also adored her animals and taking care of them as well. Will was known to like shopping, and you could always be sure there was a box on the front porch from QVC and you could find her eating one of her favorite treats, a York Peppermint Patty.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Shelia Younts and her faithful canine companion, Cannon.

She is survived by her children, daughter, Tracy Richardson (Rayland) of Asheboro, and son, Casey Leach (Charlene) of Charleston, SC.; grandchildren, Bryce Leach (Megan), Holly Richardson, Ryan Richardson, and William Leach.
