Eleanor Martha Morris, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on December 12, 2024, at the age of 88.
Born in Mount Holly, NJ on October 25, 1936, she was the daughter of Harry Edward Van Arsdale and Eleanor Martha Wilt, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Cathy Ann Daviscourt, whose loss she carried with grace. She was the oldest child in her family and and had four brothers; Harry Van-Arsdale, Robert Van-Arsdale (deceased), Charles Van Arsdale and Frank Mount.
Elly lived a full life of kindness, joy, generosity and resilience. She married Anthony Paul Cavallaro and together they raised four children, Anthony Paul Cavallaro, Jr., Frank Charles Cavallaro, Cathy Ann Daviscourt and Edward Charles Cavallaro. Later, she married Daniel Morris. She embraced his three children as her own, Tawndi Barrett, Bernadette Morris, and Dani Manumaleuna.
In addition to her children, Elly was a grandmother to 26 children, a great-grandmother to 43 children, and a great-great-grandmother to 6 children. Elly is also survived by many extended family members and friends, whom she loved dearly.
Elly's warmth, wisdom and friendly disposition will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her.
In accordance with Elly's wishes, there will not be a public service. The family will privately celebrate her life, cherishing the moments and memories they shared with her.
May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
Elly asked that this be shared, upon her death.
Please don't cry at my death,
Except as you remember the beauty of life,
And cry, as one does,
In the presence of mystery...
of the breathtaking beauty of creation.
But, for my life, give thanks, with me,... for me.
Say, "It is complete,"
"It has been perfected,"
And laugh and sing, with joy.
