Leah Nagelberg Morris

December 25, 1950 - January 24, 2021

Leah Nagelberg Morris, age 70 years, passed away on the afternoon of January 24th due to an ongoing battle with cancer. She was born on December 25th, 1950, and grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she loved camping and hiking in the gorgeous mountains. Leah got her Bachelor’s Degree at University of Tennessee-Knoxville and her Master’s in Education at University of Florida. She had a passion for teaching the underserved and underrepresented. Leah married Dr. Jon Morris on August 6th, 1981. She adopted two children, Sara and Jeffrey Morris, and raised her children in Gainesville, FL. She will be remembered by her husband of 40 years, Jon, children Sara (Joseph) Morris and Jeffrey Morris and two grand-children Caleb and Penelope. People who loved Leah described her as clever, affable, and intelligent. For those who knew her, she filled every room she walked into with abundant warmth and light, causing everyone who came into contact with her to feel seen, heard, and loved. Her hobbies genuinely included her love for people, and the way she connected to others. Services were private. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Humane Society of North Central Florida.
