of Mountain Home, AR

May 8, 1941 - October 25, 2024

Surrounded by her family, Guylla F. Morris, 83, of Mountain Home, Arkansas passed peacefully into eternity on October 25th, 2024.

Guylla was born on May 8, 1941 to Elmo and May Norman in Mountain Home, Arkansas. In March of 1965 she married her beloved husband, Bill Morris.

As an in-home daycare provider for more than 40 years, Ms. Guylla as she was affectionately called by almost everyone who knew her cared for hundreds of children throughout her career. She also welcomed those children's parents into her home for meals, fellowship and sometimes free counseling. All the families who Guylla served would tell you that raising babies was much easier with Ms. Guylla around.

Guylla was a lifelong resident of Mountain Home and was well known as a fantastic cook, providing her famous chocolate gravy, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and fried okra to anyone who came through her doors. There were always extras at Ms. Guylla's house and no one ever left hungry.

She had a unique style and you never saw her without some animal print or bright colors on. She loved to wear flashy jewelry and always kept a fresh manicure and pedicure.

Guylla was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and was a member of Christ Community Church. She loved the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Kansas City Chiefs and listening to Alan Jackson. But what she cherished the most was her beautiful family and her relationship with Jesus.

Guylla is survived by her three sons, Michael (Tina) Norman, Brad (Kelly) Morris and Steve Morris. She is also survived by one stepdaughter, Paula Hartman and one stepdaughter-in-law, Dorinda Morris. She was the best nana to her six grandchildren, Alicia (Bryan) Mattox, Jamie (Rob) Oubre, Ashton (Brett) Schmeski, Kiley (Billy) Wehmeyer, AJ Morris and Chris (Maria) Hartman. She is also survived by her six great grandchildren, Brayden Mattox, Ava, Jaxon and Baylon Oubre and Alyssa and Bella Schmeski. She will be deeply missed by her two special nieces, Ramona (Mark) Mayo and Terrie Lynn (Curtis) Treadway; as well as many other nieces, nephews and friends.

Guylla was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bill Morris; her son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Jan Morris; her sister and brother-in-law, Esta Mae and George Robert Dahlke and her stepson, Bill Morris Jr.

A visitation will be held at Roller Funeral Home from 6:00- 8:00 PM on Monday, October 28th. Funeral services will be held at Christ Community Church at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, October 29th. The family encourages visitors to wear brightly colored clothing to honor Guylla.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Peitz Cancer Support House in Mountain Home, Arkansas.
