WELCOME TO
THE EDNA MAY MORRIS FOUNDATION 

ABOUT EDNA M. MORRIS

Our beloved Edna May Morris, lovingly known as, Mama, Grandma, Gramps, Grammy, Great Gramps,  Mother Morris, was called to rest on Monday, January 17, 2022. She contributed so much to many lives and was surrounded by her devoted family in her final moments. 

Edna May was born in Kingston, Jamaica, to Ernestina Lawrence. During her formative years, she went to a Catholic school and was taught by nuns. Throughout this time, she started her walk with God and fell in love with the discipline and teachings of the church. 

Edna May was a loving, giving, and devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was the true definition of a mother who worked tirelessly to ensure her family was well cared for.  Edna will be deeply missed and her legacy will live on for generations to come. 

We rely on the support of volunteers and donors to carry out our work. There are many ways to get involved, including volunteering your time, donating, or spreading the word about our organization. We welcome everyone who shares our passion for making a difference in the lives of others. Join us today and be a part of something special.

Our mission is to continue the legacy of Edna May Morris by creating a better world for future generations. We believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Through our fundraising initiatives and partnerships with other organizations, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Join us in our mission and help us create a brighter future for all.

The Edna May Morris Foundation is committed to creating a better world through fundraising and community engagement. Our mission is to address issues affecting school-aged children by investing in their education with tuition, books, and school uniforms that create a strong foundation for them to thrive long-term and build an enduring infrastructure for giving.
