Eileen Morris Fox passed away peacefully on March 23, 2021 with family by her side. She was a loving mother and proud grandmother and great-grandmother.  
Eileen was born in Jacksonville, Florida on November 11, 1924. She was the youngest daughter of David Fielding Morris and Margaret Wilson Morris, from Blackburn and Clitheroe, England.  
 Eileen grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida and it was there she met her future husband, Orvil K. Fox. They were married May 9, 1948 in Daytona Beach. They moved several times throughout their marriage with their children being born in New Jersey and Massachusetts. They eventually settled in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1971, where Eileen remained after the passing of her husband in 1998.   
 Eileen is survived by her four children: Jim Fox and his wife Ariel of Windsor, SC; Robert Fox and his wife Laurie of Winchester, VA; Nancy Guttler and her husband George of Sturbridge, MA; and Alice Fox and her husband David Rogalski of South Deerfield, MA. In addition, she leaves six grandchildren: Hunter, Robert, Jenna, Cady, Emma, and Alaina, and four great-grandchildren, with another due in May. She is also survived by dearly loved nieces and nephews. Eileen was predeceased by her dear husband, Orvil K. Fox and her beloved sisters, Alice Sherwood and Kathleen Luther.  Eileen was also predeceased by her cherished cat, Honey.

 Eileen was a “Rosie the Riveter” during World War II, working on the B-24 Liberator Bomber. In the 1970s, she worked at Kane’s Nursing Home and Amherst Nursing Home as a Nurse’s Aide. She was a talented artist who loved drawing and painting, and an avid reader who enjoyed Native American history. To stay active, she joined a walking club in Amherst and enjoyed dance classes at the Bangs Community Center in Amherst. There were many wonderful stories and memories she shared of growing up in Florida. She loved the mountains of Vermont and the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia from the very first time she saw them. Being with family and friends, and all the laughs she shared with them, were some of her happiest times.

 The family extends their deepest gratitude to all those who took such wonderful care of Eileen during her final journey. We will be forever grateful for the care and support given to her by all those at Linda Manor in Leeds, and Cooley Dickinson VNA & Hospice. Services will be private.
