Charline lived her life as she wanted and was a faithful member of Midway Baptist Church, Jackson, MS; prior to this she attended Parkway Baptist Church of Jackson. She also belonged to all of the Parent Teacher Associations at all the schools her children attended. She was a homemaker until her oldest child completed Middle School. She then began her career of work outside the home. She was a Room Mother while her children were in elementary school. She chaperoned many field trips. She was asked by her daughter to chaperone for another school at the Music Festival and as usual, she agreed. She was the only Mother in the neighborhood who did not work. Her house was where all the kids from the area came to play. We shelled peas and beans as well as shucked corn in the garage. After the work was complete she always had a treat for all of us. Her first job was for the Mississippi Milk Commission on a part time basis. She went to work for Capitol Electric Company, Clinton, MS on March 20, 1967, and continued to work for Mississippi Power and Light which became Entergy until her retirement, April 1, 1989. From her retirement until her death, she lived life as she wanted. She was a Master Gardener, and had many beautiful flowers in her yard that are no longer available unless you get a cutting or seeds from someone. Charline was predeceased by her parents and all her siblings. She was also predeceased by her husband, Thomas P. Morrow, Jr., her daughter Emiley J. Kelley, and her son David Thomas Morrow.
