Tish was born on September 7, 1916 in Wright to W.H. and Lida (Kidd) Beadle, and was one of six siblings. She grew up on a farm in southwest Kansas and married Dillon Morrow on February 4, 1939 in Cimarron. Dillon was in the Army so they were stationed in several different locations. Their first son, Larry, was born in El Paso, Texas, in 1941. Tish returned to Dodge City while Dillon was stationed overseas. She gave birth to their daughter, Sandy, in 1944. Upon Dillon's military discharge, he returned to Dodge City where their son, Dana, was born in 1953.
Her love for children led her to open Biddy Hen Nursery which she operated for several years. Then she was employed by Gibbens Department store for a short period until she retired to devote all of energy to her family and church. Dillon's employment transferred them to Wichita, San Antonio and Houston, Texas. When Dillon retired, they moved back to Dodge City in 1984.
Tish was always a very active member of a local church, teaching Sunday School and Children's Church, influencing hundreds of lives – caring for and loving generations. In addition to her church service, she worked with Meals on Wheels, Kansas Food Bank, and Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW. She was a wonderful seamstress and cook. The dining room was everyone's favorite place to be. The last eight years of her life, Tish made her home in Derby with her son and his family. She was loved and will be missed by all.
