It was at U.S. Borax that she met Johnnie Morris and remarried. Johnnie introduced her to the game of golf, and when they moved to Colorado Springs in 1990, they played golf on a regular basis for fun and loved being on the course.Retha had many great neighbors on her block as well as in the community. She enjoyed her No Hat club, Pearl Harbor survivors group, and the widows gatherings also. Retha stayed in touch with childhood friends, classmates, coworkers, family members, and relatives on a consistent basis and sent many cards to wish a Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, and of course cards that said she was thinking about them. She will be fondly remembered for being neat and tidy and a joy to be around, always extremely pleasant.
