Edwina Archell Morris, 60, of Lancaster Pennsylvania, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday January 31st, 2018.

She has two sons Muhammad Abdullah, Saoul Abdullah, and her daughter Nashiyah DeJesus wife of Rafael DeJesus her son in law.

She has a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins, amongst many other family and friends. Edwina, known by many as "Mama Dukes", loved to spend time with her family, friends, and most of all her children. She loved to read, listen to music, and dance. Edwina graduated from University City High School in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. She loved testing her knowledge; she passed the Police exam twice and the firefighter exam once. She never became a cop or firefighter because she never had her driver's license. She never wanted to drive. Edwina was full of life, and had a tremendous amount of love in her heart. She had a smile that would light up a room. She always had the best advice, and was full of encouragement. She will truly be missed but never ever forgotten. Heaven welcomed an angel. The viewing will be 12:00PM-2:00PM on Tuesday February 6, 2018 with the funeral service beginning at 2:00PM at the Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 414 E King Street, Lancaster, PA 17602.
