George M. Morris

April 20, 1928 - March 29, 2019

COLUMBIA — George M. Morris, 90, of Columbia, passed away on Friday, March 29, 2019, at the St. Johnsbury Health & Rehabilitation Center in St. Johnsbury, Vt., after a long period of declining health. He was born in Newburyport, Mass., on April 20, 1928, a son to the late Nolan and Leone (St. Cyr) Morris, and was raised in Newburyport. He graduated from Newburyport High School in 1946 and soon after joined the U.S. Air Force as an aviation mechanic. He was stationed in Japan during the Korean conflict and would be sent to wherever aircraft needed repairs. A machinist by trade, George’s career after the military was as a mechanical processes professor at the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston for more than 30 years. When he retired, he moved to Columbia, where he lived for the past 20 years, and enjoyed his hobbies of fishing and model ship building. George’s Mormon faith was also important to him, and he was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is survived by his several children, Peter Morris of Columbia; Deborah L. Drummen, Patricia J. Putnam of Somersworth, NH, George Morris of Dover, NH, David Morris of Danbury, NH, Jennifer Lambert of Epping, NH, Douglas Morris of Franklin, NH, Matthew L. Morris, of Sandown, NH, Nancy E. Price of Mass., Carole Ann Morris of Mass., Joel Morris of Newbury, NH, Beth Morris of NH; several step-children, Deborah L. Desmond of Haverhill, Mass., Terri Lena Curtis of Utah, Raymond Jones of Columbia, Buddy E. Jones of Auburn, Calif., Allen Jones of Haverhill, Mass., Stacey E. Jones of Lowell, Mass., and Ginger M. Maroon of Metheun, Mass.; a sister, Louise O’Bara of North Hampton, NH; five grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his wife of 20 years, Martha (Cross) Morris in Aug., 2018, and by a brother, Nolan Morris, Jr. A memorial service will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Bridge Street in Colebrook on Monday, April 15, 2019, at 11 a.m. (the Trinity United Methodist Church).
