Lannie Morrison, a compassionate soul whose kindness knew no bounds, passed away on March 18, at the age of 83. She leaves behind a legacy of love, understanding and unwavering support for those who were fortunate enough to know her.

Lannie was born on September 17, 1941 to Liston Sellers, Sr. and Josephine Bethea Sellers. She had six brothers: Clarence Sellers, Elia Sellers, Wallace Sellers, Liston Sellers, Neal Sellers and James Sellers and two sisters, Elouise Pittman Page and Annie Ruth Sellers. Lannie is the youngest of all her siblings.

After spending a while in the Dillon County School District, Lannie found herself as the caregiver for her ailing parents. Lannie had several jobs throughout her lifetime. Her last recorded job was located at Winston-Salem State University, where she worked as a member of the kitchen staff.

She met and married William F. Morrison, Sr., in 1960. This union produced three children: William F. Morrison, Jr., Zelma Morrsion and Carvin "Tyrone" Morrison. Zelma married Stephone D.

Lannie's life was a testament to the power of empathy. She dedicated herself to her walk with God and always put others before herself. She strived to make the world a better place.
