MORTON JANE ELEANOR GREER Sept. 21, 1928-May 8, 2016 Mom, a gracious Southern Belle and resident of Mt. Lebanon, PA for the last 54 years, passed away peacefully on Mother's Day, just several weeks after Dad's passing. She was 87. She was born in Lilburn, Georgia, attended Brenau College and married Sanford M. Morton in Atlanta on May 26, 1951. They were married for over 64 years. Mom was very proud of her three sons, Dr. Sanford M. Morton, Jr. (Riitta) of Burlington, WA, Robert Steven Morton, JD (Sue) of Austin, Texas and Dr. Andrew Greer Morton (deceased). She was also very proud of her grandson, Sanford Douglas Morton (Duke University). She was predeceased by her husband and her brother, Tifton S. Greer. As a realtor for many years, Mom made many friends around Pittsburgh. Although she loved Pittsburgh, Mom would always point out she was originally from the South! She was Past President of the Southern Club of Pittsburgh as well as the Woman's Club of Mt. Lebanon and enjoyed her friends there immensely. She also enjoyed her P.E.O. Chapter AA, Pittsburgh Symphony, Music For Mt. Lebanon and the Mt. Lebanon Historical Society friends. In retirement, Mom traveled the world, visiting Asia, Australia, Russia, India, Europe and the Middle East, landing in Jerusalem on Y2K. Special thanks to Kathy Kessler, who looked out for Mom and Dad for many years, and to the Sunrise Senior Living staff for all of their care. A memorial service will be held at the Mt. Lebanon United Methodist Church, 3319 West Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh on Friday, May 13, 2016, at 1 p.m. The family will greet friends at the church following the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any of the P.E.O. Scholarship funds at https://donations.peo international.org or to Mt. Lebanon Methodist Church Memorial Fund. laughlinfuneralhome.com Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
