Charles Wilson Morse, age 94 of Jackson, passed away on May 19, 2022 at the Tennessee State Veterans Home at Humboldt.

He was born in Gibson, TN to the late Phenie Bell Brinkley and James Lawrence Morse. He was educated in the Gibson County Schools and was a graduate of West Tennessee Business College and from the Amos Tuck Graduate School of Administration and Finance at Dartmouth University in Hanover, NH.

Charles served in the United States Air Force from 1946-1952, where he was stationed in Germany. He was an Air Traffic Controller in the Berlin Airlift. His working career centered around corporate credit finance in different institutions. He was a Credit Manager for Consolidated Aluminum Corporation in Jackson and was Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for National Steel Division in Little Rock, AR.

Charles had a passion for gardening and growing plants, probably stemming from his growing up on a farm. Tomato hornworms feared his hoe. He enjoyed his grandchildren, UT sports, and Cardinal baseball. Charles served his church at Northside as Treasurer, and on the Finance Committee and Staff Parish Committee. He believed in Jesus Christ as his savior and that a person is saved by grace through faith.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, Evelyn Christoph Morse; his grandson, Damon Morse; seven brothers, James, Thomas, Julian, Robert, George, Dean, and Joe Morse; and three sisters, Edna Morse, Dee Mullens, and Lucille Kolwyck.

(Adam) of Jackson, TN; Natalie Morse of Tampa, FL and Stephen Morse of Memphis, TN; eight great grandchildren, Londyn, Lucy and McCall Brower; Behr Taylor, Carter, Andi and Nash Bradford; and Hana Grace Morse.

Mr. Jesse Byrum, our old JHS teacher, has died at 92 years of age on May 24, 2021 in his home in Jackson, TN. His visitation and funeral will be Thursday, May 27 at Smith's Funeral Home North. Visitation from 11-1:00 and funeral at 1:00.

JHS Alumni:

Coach Charles Bray is now living at Morningside of Jackson at 1200 N. Parkway in Jackson.

He will not be able to come to the JHS all-class reunion or any other class reunions because of his health and mobility, but he would love to see and hear from JHS alumni anytime or when you are in Jackson.

Because of the Covid virus, no one can go into Morningside to see him but he can come outside to see you. He called and discussed this with me last night and since a couple of JHS athletes have contacted him about being in Jackson for the all-class and other class reunions the first weekend in June, he agreed to set a time that he would come outside to see and talk to anyone who wanted to come by there on Saturday morning, June 5, from 9:30-10:30. Several classes are having brunch/lunch beginning at 11:00, so this seemed like the best time.

Please pass this information to your classmates through email or Facebook in case some want to go see him then. He still has his same home phone number in his room 731-660-5651 for anyone to call him at other times. He would love to see or hear from the JHS alumni.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on June 5 at the all-class reunion.

Mimi Roland Allen
