Sherry Regina (Owens) Morris

Sherry Regina Morris was the oldest of five children born to the late Juanita and Mack Lawrence Owens on May 23, 1962, in Stuttgart, Arkansas.  She transitioned to her heavenly home on Monday, March 6, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.

She was united in holy matrimony to Carl Lee Morris, Jr. on August 24, 2009, and God blessed them with 13 years of marriage. She was a devoted and loving wife. 

Sherry accepted Christ and was filled with the Holy Ghost at a young age. She faithfully served as a member and progressed in her dedication to Mt. Calvary Church of God in Christ. She served as the financial Secretary and assistant Treasurer. Sherry worked in several ministries in the church, Women’s Department, Young People’s Willing Workers and freely serving others through the food ministry. Wherever assistance was needed, she would fall in line and help!
