Morley

Flossie Irene Morley was born in Providenciales, Turks Island. One of Joseph Williams’ daughters, she was an exemplary woman of service. She began her life time of service first as a community teacher before branching out in to the tourism industry. Although Flossie loved to served, she loved her service to the Lord most of all. She was one of the founding members of Zion South Beach Baptist Church with the founding Pastor B.W Davis. Flossie was also a member of the Prayer Band, and Women's Ministry. She held a daily phone prayer ministry with Sis Antonio at 12 noon daily and if you happened to be using the phone at that time, you had to quickly complete your conversation before her beloved sister “beeped” through. Many mornings she would start her day with daily morning devotion and prayer. Flossie taught her children and grandchildren the virtue of prayer along with attributes of a good wife and loving mother. She was blessed with 11 children and raised countless others. Her family was her pride and joy and this was expressed through her countless hours of devotion and dedication. She encouraged her family to visit, get to know each other and the importance of family time. Sundays was a staple for family dinners and gatherings at her home. She made sure no one left without being fed with a home cooked meal. Whenever family came to visit from out of town she opened the doors of her home and welcomed them in. She was a firm believer in family looking after each other regardless of the sacrifice to oneself. Flossie just loved family and they all loved her.

Family note: Flossie’s husband was James Morley, referred to as “Boy James” in the booklet.

Finally, Flossie loved her community, this was evident in her role as the President of the Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union Mothers Club for over 15 years. There were many community activities from feeding the sick and shut in, to clothing those in need and volunteering to the various community agencies such as The Persis Rodgers Home for the Aged, the Geriatric Hospital, Children’s Emergency Hostel and the Ranfurly Home for Children. She believed it ‘takes a village’ to raise a community and ‘we are our brother’s keepers’.

Flossie was also an active member of the local lodge, helping to mold the minds of the nation’s youth, and making a difference in the lives of others.

Having lived a full life Flossie was called home to be with the Lord at the age of 81, He saw her tireless service here on earth and decided it was time for her to take a rest. We hope to one day be reunited with her, Boy James and the many loved ones gone before. We love you Mummy, sleep on.
