IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Josephine Inez
Tuten Morrow
December 23, 1938 – March 13, 2020
Josephine Inez Tuten Morrow, 81, died Friday, March 13, 2020 at the home of her daughter's residence
in Rincon, GA. She was born December 23, 1938, to Eric Roland and Kate Cole Tuten in Savannah, GA. A
lifelong resident of Chatham County, she attended Savannah High School. She was a member of Garden
City United Methodist Church. On May 7, 1955, she married William E. Morrow, Sr. (Bill) in Ridgeland, SC
and settled in Garden City, GA. She attended cosmetology school and owned her own shop at her
residence in Garden City. She later retired from Gulfstream Aerospace and went on to work at Sam's
Club in Pooler, GA. She was a former member of the Bethlehem Chapter #269, Order of the Eastern Star.
It has been said by many who knew her that she never met a stranger, she always made time to listen
and talk with others, and to know her was to love her. She kept her mind sharp and her conversations
with the Lord frequent by playing cards with the "Golden Girls" at the Garden City Senior Center. Her
role as wife, mother, Memaw, and sister is where she flourished most. She was everything each of these
roles should be. She was loving, nurturing, and understanding. In her, you knew you always had a
protector and someone who loved you unconditionally. She was always there if you needed a kind word,
encouragement, or someone to lift your name to Jesus in prayer. She was preceded in death by her
husband, mother, father, and sisters, Dorothy Glisson and Elizabeth Wainwright.
She is survived by one son, William E. Morrow, Jr. (Bill) and his wife Tracy of Bogart, GA; two daughters,
Sharon Walea and her husband, Mike Walea of Rincon, GA and Kathy Nunn and her husband, Ricky
Nunn of Garden City, GA; sister, Margie Bazemore of Garden City, GA; brother, Bobby Tuten of
Richmond Hill, GA; six granddaughters, Rebekah Walea Rahn, Rachel Walea Allen, Ansley Nunn Brennan,
Ashley Nunn, Cassie Morrow Kanca, and Megan Morrow; two grandsons, Philip Walea and Matthew
Nunn; seventeen great-grandchildren. Mrs. Morrow is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins,
and dear friends and staff at Lakeview Manor Community.
Visitation will be held on Monday, March 16, 2020 at Strickland and Sons Funeral Home in Rincon, GA
from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Funeral Service will be held at Garden City United Methodist Church on Tuesday,
