ANNA JEAN EASTON MORRISON (October 6, 1910-June 12, 2007) Jean Morrison was born on October 6, 1910, in Leonia N.J., to James I. and Anna B. Easton. She was the fourth of five children. Gifted musically, she studied at Julliard while attending Teachers College, Columbia University, from which she was graduated in 1931. She began teaching music in the public schools in the State of Delaware, and there she met her future husband, Robert W. Morrison. After their marriage in 1937 they lived in Narberth, PA, and then moved to Palmyra, NJ. Jean became very active in the community and in Calvary Presbyterian Church, Riverton. Within the church she was at various times a deacon, an elder, a faithful member of Caris (making meals for homebound people), Sunday School teacher, leader of the Junior Choir, long¬time choir member, prime mover in helping several refugee families resettle, and accompanist for musicals. She also enjoyed assisting at the Riverton Free Library and driving people to medical appointments for FISH. In addition to her musical accomplishments, she was an avid reader, knitter of afghans and fisherman's sweaters for everyone in her family, and a crossword puzzler. Each week she did the New York Times crossword puzzle diagramless and in ink. She is survived by her daughter, Barbara M. Billings and her husband, The Rev. Stephen Billings, of Haverford, with whom she made her home for the past five years, and by her son, The Rev. Robert W. Morrison and his wife, Kathe, of Jackson Township, NJ. She is also survived by grandchildren MaryLynn Morrison, Anna Morrison Thomas (Peter Thomas), Sarah Morrison and Melissa J. Billings (Richard Soedler) and great grandsons Grant and Neil Soedler.
