DeLois Jean Morris, born DeLois Jean Beauford, a devoted matriarch, cherished sister, and faithful servant, passed away peacefully on July 9h, 2025, in Omaha, Nebraska. She was born on January 30th, 1941, in Paris, Texas, to the late Reverend Eddie and Minnie Beauford. DeLois's proudest accomplishments revolved around her deep devotion and love: serving God, being a dedicated wife and a loving mother. She often emphasized that life is challenging, but with the help and guidance of God, it could be done - a powerful example she lived every day. Her unwavering faith was a cornerstone of her life; she was an active and beloved member of the Church of God in Christ. Her deep spirituality guided her throughout her life, and her presence in the church community was a source of comfort and inspiration to many.
A true hard worker, DeLois dedicated many years of her career to Union Pacific in St. Louis returning to Omaha, Nebraska, where her diligence and commitment were well-known and respected. Beyond her professional life and profound faith, DeLois found immense joy and expressed her vibrant spirit through music. She shared this passion by singing in groups with her beloved sisters and her children, creating cherished memories and spreading joy and love of God through their harmonious voices.
Delois's legacy lives on through her loving family. She is survived by her devoted daughter and son, Beverly and Ralph Falkner, and her siblings: Eddie M., Joyce A., Eula M. and Chandra D. She was preceded in death by her dear parents, Eddie D. and Minnie Beauford, husband, James Morris, siblings, Erva J. and Minnie M. and sadly, by her children, Deborah Greene, Sharone Taylor, and James Morris, who she carried in her heart.
DeLois's life was a testament to her enduring faith, her strong work ethic, and her profound love for her family. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her, but her memory will continue to resonate in the hearts of her loved ones.
Eternity-
Life is just a minute, only sixty seconds in it, forced upon you, can't refuse it, didn't seek it, didn't choose it, but it's up to us to use it, we must suffer if we lose it, give an account it we abuse it, just a tiny minute but eternity is in it."
