BATH — Lillie Josephine Svik Morris, 91, passed away Nov. 5, 2014, surrounded by her loving family at her daughter’s home in Bath. Born June 8, 1923, Lillie was raised on a farm in Clarkson, Neb., before the family moved to Omaha during World War II. She married Burman “Bill” L. Morris on Nov. 11, 1952, and the couple settled in Plattsmouth, Neb., where they raised their family.

When her children were young, she was happily known as “the Cookie Lady of Maiden Lane” for the cookies she baked for the neighborhood. She always regretted that her baking talents didn’t extend to pies. She spent much of her time dancing the polka and making people smile. Lillie was active in various organizations at The Church of the Holy Spirit in Plattsmouth, including the Catholic Daughters.

Lillie was predeceased by her husband, Bill; her sisters Bessie and Rose; and her brothers Ed, Frank and Joe.

She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Morris Clark, and her husband, Jeffrey, of Bath, with whom she made her home for the past three years, their children Jocelyn Clark, of Bath, and Erin Zaremba and her husband Steve, of Salem, N.H.; her son, Carl Morris, and his wife, Sally, of Clifton Park, N.Y., and their children Anthony Morris, of Albany, and his wife Rebecca, and Christina Pickett and her husband Ed, of Ballston Spa, N.Y., and their children Corey, Olivia, Hannah, Alyssa and Ryan.
