Florence Anna "Anna Lee" Coverdale (Morris)

Florence “Anna Lee” Morris, was born to the late Lee and Ruby Batson Morris, on Thursday, September 7, 1944, in Seaford, Delaware. She was affectionately called by her middle names “Anna Lee”. She was the only girl and the first sibling to three brothers, Marvin, Bernard and Wayne. She was blessed to be born in a hard-working Christian home. As a young girl, Anna Lee attended Frederick Douglass School in Seaford, Delaware, graduated from William C. Jason Comprehensive High School in Georgetown, Delaware and completed her studies at Goldey Beacon Sussex Technical School. She was a hard worker. Early in her career, she worked as a clerk for the Department of Social Services, served as an assistant supervisor at the Comfort Inn in Seaford, Delaware and Hampton Inn in Dover, Delaware and helped in their family business, Sweep & Kleen. She later decided to join the Senior Community Employment Program, and the Modern Maturity Center in Dover, Delaware. These experiences led her to work for the Luther Towers Assisted Living Facility in Dover, Delaware. While there, she was honored as an Outstanding Older Worker in Kent County. After 17 great years, she retired in March of 2019. As a child, Anna Lee accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior at the Clarence Street Church of God in Seaford, Delaware. In later years, she rededicated her life to the Lord and joined the Booker Street Church of God in Georgetown, Delaware, where her brother, Bishop Marvin Morris is the pastor. Anna Lee was a devoted Christian. She loved Gospel music and sang with the Women’s Ministry Choir and helped with the House of Ruth, a shelter for the homeless. Anna Lee gave birth to a daughter, Jacqueline Coverdale and a son, Daryl Coverdale, who gave her two grandchildren, Deronje and Aiyanah. They all brought her much joy. In her spare time, Anna Lee liked to play Bingo, bowl, work word puzzles, and play Solitaire on the computer. Anna Lee made her transition on Monday, April 20, 2020, after a prolonged illness. She leaves a legacy of love and cherished memories, to her daughter, Jacqueline; son, Daryl; three brothers, Bishop Marvin (Lorraine), Deacon Bernard and Wayne “Teddy” (Brenda); an aunt, Marie Batson; two grandchildren, Deronje Coverdale and Aiyanah Burris; and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. We give thanks to God for the time He allowed Anna Lee to be with us. She enjoyed life, laughing and had a generous heart. She loved being with family and friends. She was truly loved and will surely be missed. We find comfort in knowing that to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord.
