VICTORIA REGINA MORRIS

November 28, 1918 - March 5, 2018

Victoria Regina Hakan Morris passed away peacefully in her 100th year at Brookdale Skilled Nursing Facility in Overland Park on March 5. She was born in Joplin, Missouri and moved seventy six years ago to Kansas City upon her marriage to renowned architect and pillar of the Jewish community, Manuel Morris. As her husband's staunch helpmate, she became a distinguished matriarch of four generations of scores of descendants committed to pure, traditional Torah values. Among her descendants are Talmudic scholars and Torah true women of valor. Victoria Morris accomplished this through her genuine Jewish woman's wisdom characterized above all by abiding faith in the will of Hashem and a personal relationship with Hashem. Her modesty of demeanor, dress and way of life influenced everyone. She always spoke softly in a refined manner. When her two daughters, Mrs. William (Barbara) Glaberson and Mrs. Arnold (Deborah) Freeman, married and moved with their families to the Holy Land, although she missed their presence, she and her husband supported in every way their striving for idealistic levels of Torah and mitzvot observance in the Jewish homeland. She will be honored and remembered with reverence by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren: Chana, Zev, Leah, Yakov, Aryeh, Nechemia, Michali, Sruli, Chana, Rena, Hillel, Yedidya, Sara Malka, Binyomin, Tali, Shai, Bracha, Shmuel, Yehuda, Hadas, Racheli, Tzviki, Tamar, Netanel, Miriam, Gitty, Shmuly, Nechama, Nachman, Natan, Hoshaya, Avraham Sholom, Yonason, Avigail, Iska, Avishai, David , Eitan, Dvorah, Eliyohu, Rochel, Rochmiel, Moishe Chaim, Hadassa Leah, Menachem, Yakov Yisroel, Moshe Mordechai, Elazar, Elisheva, Tami, Elisha, Yonatan, Dovid, Yossi , Dena Shira, Moishie, Chaya, Yisroel, Yehoshua.
