Elois (Morrow) McGehee passed away at her home in Bells, Texas on July 23, 2022 at the age of 83. She was the middle child of nine children born to Henry L. Morrow and Lois (Lawson) on July 14, 1939 in Preston Bend, Texas.
She was a godly woman with a loving, gentle spirit of a servant. She thought of other people before herself. She met Clint at the age of 14 and they were married after he completed basic training on July 11, 1958 in Denison, Texas. Elois loved her husband and family. She was a Proverbs 31 woman. She took care of every detail with loving oversight. She was a wise counselor, giving practical advice and insight to her family. Her home was a sanctuary, her peaceful spirit pervaded it. She was a wonderful cook who seldom accepted compliments by saying “You can read a recipe, can’t you.” Elois was a wonderful hostess, and planning parties was a great joy. She made people feel special and welcomed. Elois was a faithful member of Hebron Baptist Church, Bells for many years.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Lois Morrow; son, Alan McGehee; grandson, C.J. McGehee; siblings, Johnny, Sammy, Tommy Morrow and Margie Johnson.
She is survived by her husband, Clint McGehee; sons, Chad McGehee, Roger McGehee and wife Jennifer; grandchildren, Cassie McGehee, Seth McGehee, Luke McGehee, Gracie McGehee, Ethan McGehee, and Payton McGehee; great grandchild, Tessa Hoetger; daughter in law, Stephanie McGehee; siblings, Lillie Wood, Dorothy Mollenhour, Earline Tubb, Alice Ortez and husband Mickey; with a large extended family and friends.
Pallbearers will be Phillip McGehee, Gunnar McGehee, Jeffery McGehee, Brice McGehee, Brett Little, and Jason Salafia. Honorary Pallbearers are Jeff McGehee, Mickey Ortez, and Guy Bailey. Her pastor Russell Clemons will officiate.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

We love you Elois and will miss you. You leaving us will change everything. Our Lord surely delights your in your arrival. May He enjoy your company as we were blessed to have for so many years.
Chad and family– So sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
How do you say bye to someone you loved so much? Elois was my sister. We shared so much of our lives with each other. When we were unable to visit together, we spent a lot of time on the phone. We could always make each other laugh. Although we lived 1500 miles apart, it didn’t change our being able to connect with one another. I will miss her sweet laughter and her caring ways. This world will be a little dimmer with her spirit gone from it.
Prayers for our entire family..Love Harold Morrow, Shanna, Rodney and Gage. RIP ELOIS ????????
Sending Love and Prayers.
Roger and Family. I am so sorry for the loss of your mom, grandmother, and mother-in-law. We are never ready to give our loved ones up as they travel to their next home. May y’all find comfort in the many wonderful memories she left with you.
So sorry for your loss, prayers for all!
I came to know Elois in the late 70’s. I had obtained my beauty license and she was one of my first customers. She was my first appointment on Saturday at 7:30. Along with her came three boys who would sit patiently with a soda till there mom got through. Later in life her oldest son married my daughter Stephanie. So I feel like our life’s have been entertained for years. Elois always made me feel like part of the family. Rest In Peace Elois I love you and will see you when I’m called home
From Joan(Moore) Bell, Mandi Bell Fields and Brandon Y. Bell, we send our condolences to the family for the loss of your dear one Elois (chug). Elois had the most beautiful blue eyes. The Moore family and the Morrow family grew up together, and we were just two happy large families.
Roger, Jennifer and family;
We are so sorry for your loss. May the Lord be with you in this difficult time.
Prayers to the entire family. Elois was like a second mother to me when we were all younger. Great Woman and Great Family. May God lay his healing hand upon all of you.
Chad and the rest of the Family, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out. My daughter, Jenny, couldn’t have had a better mother-in-law. She was sweet and kind to everyone.
She will be missed by all.
Prayers for your family. So sorry for your loss.
What a sweet sweet lady. Always a kind smile and a hug. I know she will be missed. Prayers!
