Our condolences to Joe Medicine Crow and his family upon the death of his wife. LODGE GRASS - Gloria Morrison Medicine Crow, 85, Lodge Grass, went home to be with her Lord on March 12, 2009. She was a matriarch of the Morrison family.
Shacheecha "Bright Sunlight" was born May 2, 1923, in St. Xavier, a daughter of Alvin Morrison Sr. and Marcia Young Curlew. She grew up in the Big Horn and Black Lodge Districts of the Crow Reservation, receiving her education in Hardin and at the Chemawa Indian School.
Gloria married Joe Not Afraid, Jr. in 1943 and he died in 1945. She and Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow were united in a Crow traditional wedding on April 17, 1947 in Lodge Grass, dressed in traditional outfits. They celebrated a life of 61 years together.
