Shirley Martin Morris, age 85, of Anderson Flat, Arkansas, passed away Sunday, June 15, 2025 at Highland Court in Marshall, Arkansas.

The daughter of Newton and Elsie (Wallain) Martin was born October 24, 1939 at Mt. Hersey, Arkansas. She was a lifelong resident of this area and a faithful long-time member of Ozark Life United Pentecostal Church.

Shirley spent her working years with Overman's in Harrison followed by 29 years with the Bruno-Pyatt School District as one of the "lunch ladies". She loved this job as she had a great love for children. She got to see both her grandsons start and finish their school years at Bruno-Pyatt. After her retirement, she and her husband Raymond enjoyed their time together. They went to Yellville multiple times a day to eat with their friends. They loved riding their side-by-side and enjoyed their "great" grandkids tremendously. They followed their grandkids all over for soccer, basketball, and baseball games and of course, don't forget all the birthday parties.

Shirley Martin married Raymond Morris and they were blessed with two children, Jim (Tracy) Morris and Rita (Michael) McEntire, all of Anderson Flat. They enjoyed two grandsons, Brent Morris and Clint (Tiffany) Morris; two granddaughters, Katy (Jake) Thornton and Kara Jones (Drew). Then came more fun for them, with great grandkids, Tamara (Kyle), Tia (Payton), Brody, Eli, Jesse, Kyler, Mya, Oaklee, Rayden, Rowland, Ryeland, and Raylann; and one great great grandson, Emer Bardin. She is also survived by two sisters-in-law, Emily Martin and Debbie Morris; and a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family.
