      LAURINBURG -- Emma Neal Morrison, 100, passed peacefully at her home in Laurinburg, Sunday, December 7, 2008.

      She was born in Laurinburg on June 5, 1908 a daughter of the late Laurin and Emma Wilkes McQueen.

      Emma Neal was preceded in death by siblings, Laurin McQueen, Jr., Ruth Bullard and Sally Toomey as well as her husband, Fred Wilson Morrison of Washington, DC.

      Emma Neal lived most of her life in Washington, DC where she served as president of the Women's National Democratic Club, president of the North Carolina Society of Washington, chairman of the Invitation Committee of the Inaugural Ball for President Kennedy and as a national trustee of the Harry S. Truman Library. She also devoted time to the Girl Scouts.
      Mrs. Morrison is known for more than 50 years of service to "The Lost Colony" including 20 years as the drama's producer and a 12 year stint as chairman of the Roanoke Island Historical Society, the history play's parent organization.

      "This gracious lady was one of North Carolina's premiere forces for the quality of performing arts in our state. She and her husband, through their many benefactions to "The Lost Colony," said longtime friend William C. Friday", President Emeritus of the University of North Carolina.

      Emma Neal was also the recipient of numerous North Carolina awards, including the designation as an honorary Dare County citizen. The State Magazine named her "The North Carolinian of 1967." She received the Charles A. Cannon Award from the NC Society for the Preservation of Antiquities; the Frederick H.

Mrs. Morrison also received a LLDH Honorary Doctor of Law Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1985.

      In 1989, she received the prestigious North Carolinian Society Award for public service and contributions to the cultural life of her fellow North Carolinians. In 1967, the Roanoke Island Historical Association established its highest award in her honor; the Morrison Award.

      Her daughter Myra Neal Morrison moved to Rockwell, NC where she continues to farm. Emma Neal was the proud grandmother to Patricia Webb, Sandra Clark and Shirley Maxwell.
