Dolores E. Morphis, age 79, of Plainfield, IL passed away Tuesday, November 16, 2021 at Robin’s Nest Assisted Living Facility in Geneva with her loving family by her side.
She was born November 13, 1942 in Battle Creek, Michigan, the daughter of George and Dorothy (Clark) Morphis.
Dolores grew up in Chicago, IL. At eighteen years old she married Kenneth Jones. During the time of their marriage, they had two daughters, Dorothy and Laura. In her twenties Dolores moved to Southern California. There she met and married Cysler Witherspoon. This union resulted in the birth of their son, Cysler III. As a mother, Dolores passed on to her children some of those elements that made her so remarkable: strength, independence, intelligence, work ethic, a love of music and duty and commitment to serve family and community.
Dolores built a career that had predominately been to defend and serve.
Dolores fiercely loved life and fought to hold on to it, finding joy in all she could, until the very end.
She was preceded in death by her parents George and Dorothy, identical twin sister Diane, brother Gary and son in law Daniel.
