Mr. Morrow passed away on Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at Lineville Health & Rehab. The staff at the nursing home was absolutely wonderful to tending to Mr. Morrow’s needs. Jimmy was born in Talladega, but was a Clay County resident most of his life. He attended Clay County High School. Jimmy worked many years with Alabama Power Company and then later worked another 30 years with Clay County Board of Education, Transportation Department as a diesel mechanic. Jimmy enjoyed going to McDonald’s for a fresh scrambled egg biscuit almost every morning before he went into the nursing home in October of last year. He also enjoyed going to Captain D’s in Talladega each week. His routines were so set, that everyone in these restaurants knew his order by heart and that just delighted him. He also enjoyed visiting his coworkers from the Bus Shop at least once a week; just to “check on them” he would say. Jimmy was a member of Mineral Springs Methodist Church and the Coppermine Volunteer Fire Department.
He is survived by his daughter, Roxanne Lamberth (Greg); his son, Gregg Morrow (Bethany), both of Lineville; two sisters: Joyce Erhardt and Saundra McCraw (Ramon), both of Ashland; five grandchildren: Samantha Lamberth, Logan Lamberth, Madeline Morrow, Gabrielle Morrow and Joseph Morrow; and a large extended family.

Active Pallbearers were: Brandon Brown, Mike Brown, Allen Yates, Dalton Yates, Cliff Shaddix, and Joel Lamberth.
