Sylvia Mae Bruton Morris, 86, went to be with the Lord on December 10, 2017 after an extended illness.
She was born June 15, 1931, in Glasgow, KY to the late Allie and Evie-Jane Abney Bruton.
After courtship, Sylvia married John Albert Morris on December 22, 1951. They raised three children together; Wanda (Gene) Philpott of Lafayette, Brenda (Don) Gille of Spring, TX and Larry (Alice) Morris of Lafayette. She was blessed with eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
As a cherished member of Kossuth Street Baptist Church, she taught Sunday School for several years, sharing her love of God and scriptures to young minds. She also helped the elderly ladies of the church with their various needs. Her kindness and heart for service to others kept her very busy.
Sylvia enjoyed being a homemaker, lovingly tending to her family. She was an accomplished seamstress and also loved to work in her flower gardens, making her home and neighborhood a more beautiful place.
She is survived by three sisters: Beatrice (Merle) Reeves of New Market, Doris Bruton of Lafayette, Frances Woodard of Poland, and two brothers: Charles (Beverly) Bruton of Crawfordsville, and Roger (Karen) Bruton of Frankfort.
Preceding Sylvia in death were her husband, brothers, Huey and Kenneth, grandchildren Stacy and Jody Philpott and son-in-law Gene Philpott.
Visitation will be from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm Friday at Soller-Baker Lafayette Chapel, 400 Twyckenham Blvd. Service will be 3:30 pm at Soller-Baker Lafayette Chapel. Interment will be at Tippecanoe Memory Gardens.
