Irene Gammon Morrison

Born into a large family, Irene was the youngest of 13 children. She was raised in the Brittontown Community, where she lived until she married her husband, Joe Morrison. The couple lived in several places including, Ohio, Illinois, Morristown, and Whitesburg, before settling in Mosheim.

Irene worked for Hurd Lock and then Magnavox, where she was employed until retirement. At Magnavox, she was very active in the IUE Local 793 and served for many years as Chief Steward. Irene was also very active in our local YMCA, and taught water Aerobics three times per week for several years.
