MORLEY, Kenneth Lloyd was born September 09, 1924 to Lloyd and Grace (Vobril) Morley of Adams County, Wisconsin. He went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 01, 2013. Ken spent the early years of his life in Wisconsin where he graduated from Adams-Friendship High School in 1942. The motto in his high school yearbook expressed the point of view with which he approached life: "He can argue a point until it is worn out." After high school, Ken attended trade school in Chicago where he became an electrician by trade. He was drafted into the United States Army and served during World War II in Okinawa, Japan. On August 9, 1947 he married the love of his life, Betty Grace McLaughlin. Early in their marriage, Ken and Betty relocated to Flint, Michigan. Ken worked as an electrician on various projects until he found his career home at General Motors. He and Betty had three sons who have survived their parents: Kristy (Janice) of Swartz Creek, Michigan, Kelly (Marsha) of Clare, Michigan, Michael (Peggy) of Birch Run, Michigan. Ken and Betty remained in Michigan until 1992 when they permanently relocated to Bartow, Florida. Ken’s faith and church involvement was always an integral part of life. Ken was an ordained Baptist minister and pastored two churches. While in Flint he was a member of Fenton Road Baptist Church; in Florida he was a member of Lake Shipp Baptist Church. The family wishes to express a special word of appreciation to Prestige Place in Clare, Michigan for the love and support they provided to him during his final year of life.
