Women Over 70: Aging Reimagined


147 Margo Morris: Diversity, Animals & Art - An Unlikely Frame for a Spectacular Life

December 01, 2021

Create diverse communities and better the lives of all people. This one sentence perfectly describes Margo Morris, 78. The communities themselves were diverse: corporate America, education, Lincoln Park Zoo, Garfield Park Conservatory and other non-profits, and in each one she worked to engage a broader swath of American life. 


Margo retired 13 years ago and returned to an earlier love: art, settling on figurative art in water media.  Recently she became widowed and now plans to move to an independent senior community to start a new chapter in her life. 


Margo believed aging was just getting wrinkles. As she ages it's become clear that aging is so much more. She has a strong sense of humor and as you listen you will hear it in everything she says.


Once I accepted that everyone has to die, I felt relieved. No one gets the privilege of not dying. - Margo Morris
