(Nee-Morris) On November 15, 2010 of Collingswood, NJ. Age 86 years.

Beloved wife of 64 years to George E. Powell. Loving mother of Thomas A. (Susan) of Madbury, NH, Mark C. (Susi) of Elkton, MD and Mary C. (Mitchell Trivanovich) Powell of Huntington Beach, CA. Devoted grandmother of Rachael, Catherine and Christopher Powell.

Mrs. Powell was a lifelong devoted parishioner and Eucharistic Minister of St. John Church of Collingswood.

Mrs. Powell was a 32 year Chemistry teacher at Collingswood High School where she taught across the hall from her husband, George, a 34 year Physics teacher, and both led the ballroom dance club. For many years the Powells' also worked for the Philadelphia Phillies in their ticket office. In 2007, the Borough of Collingswood recognized the Powells' for their many years of community service by naming 'Powell Lane' in their honor.
