Edith Clarice Morton 1932-2012
Edith Clarice Morton, age 79, of Pensacola, died Wednesday, February 1, 2012.
Clarice, a lifelong resident of Pleasant Grove, was an expert at catching whiting
and ground mullet from the shore at Johnson's beach. For many years she kept
the family and friends supplied with all the fish they could eat. The smell of fish
frying on the stove could be found at all hours, day or night, at the Morton home.
She loved to travel and shop, especially for clothes, with her sisters, and her
daughter, Rhonda. She had a green thumb and enjoyed raising all kinds of
flowers and plants. Her hobbies and interests spanned from crochet to scuba
diving. But her greatest passion was her love for her Lord Jesus, a legacy she
passed on to her family. Clarice was a member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church
for over seventy years.
Clarice was preceded in death by her parents: Leon and Bertha Andrews; her
husband, Ronald; her brother, Edward Andrews; sisters, Lucille Archer, Alice
Price, and Eileen Smith.
Survivors include: her daughter, Rhonda Pouliot (Ron); her son, Ronald Morton
(Janie); grandchildren, Brian Pouliot, Jonathan Pouliot, Heather Morton, and
Ronald Morton; great-grandchildren, Faith Pouliot, and Matt Pouliot; and many
loving and devoted nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be 11:00 A.M., Monday, February 6, 2012 at Pleasant
Grove Baptist Church. Visitation will begin at 9:30 A.M. prior to the service.
