Secretary
Zella Morrow
      

Zella Thompson Morrow, daughter of  Alfred Hubble and Evelyn E. (Wingfield) Thompson, was born near Davison, Michigan and attended most of her elementary school years in the two-roomed country school across the road from the Thompson home, and the one-roomed Red School down the road.  Her father ran a produce farm by day and worked in the Fisher Body Plant #1 in Flint by night.  By the time Zella was in 2nd grade, the family had grown to include six girls and one boy.   

Zella graduated from Davison High School in June 1953.  She says that her greatest successes during her school years at DHS were her acting debut as Ernestine in the DHS production of “Cheaper by the Dozen,” being voted the DAR Good Citizen, and surviving Public Speaking Class.   

Shortly before graduation she applied for and secured a job as a telephone operator at the local Telephone Company.  She attended Flint Jr. College while working afternoons and evenings.  From Flint Jr. College, she transferred to Eastern Michigan College, graduating in Education in June 1958.  While at Eastern Michigan College, she met and married Ralph Morrow in 1956.  She applied for and accepted a teaching position near Gainesville, Florida, and Ralph took graduate studies while working for the University Housing Department. 

Zella and Ralph lived in and near Gainesville 15 years and Zella taught 6 of those years.

Their four daughters, Nila, Holly, Sharon and Ginger were all born in Gainesville, between 1961 and 1970.  Zella also went to graduate school finishing a Masters of Education and certification in Library Science in 1966.  In 1971, the family moved from Gainesville, Florida to Salem, Oregon, where Ralph had accepted a position with the State Department of Corrections. 

Zella taught 22 years in Salem Public Schools, retiring July 1993.  Ralph had retired a couple of years earlier. The girls attended Brigham Young University, married and settled in Utah Valley, so when Zella retired in 1993, she and Ralph moved to Orem, Utah to be near their children, 15 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
