Mrs. Morris, age 61, died Saturday, July 18, 2009, at her home in Shalimar, Fla., after an 11-year courageous struggle with cancer. Maureen, the daughter of Harold C.

Commissioned in the U.S. Air Force, she was stationed in Athens, Greece, where she met Jon, her husband-to-be. They were married at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., on July 20, 1974. Maureen separated from the Air Force in 1975 to join Jon in Washington, D.C., where Jeffrey, their only son, was born at Fort Belvoir, Va., in 1980. After Air Force assignments in Las Vegas, Honolulu and Hurlburt Field, the family settled in Shalimar in 1990. Subsequently, Maureen earned a master's degree in special education with high honors from the University of West Florida. Maureen is survived by husband, Jon; son, Jeffrey, a sergeant in the U.S. Army; her father; and a brother, Harold J. Sauter and his wife Lorna of Nashua, N.H.
