Oneda Morton

Oneda “Momo” Morton, a caring, genuine soul; a loving sister, mother, grandmother, and friend left this world far too soon on September 11, 2026. Born in St. James Parish on October 9, 1949, to the late Lorenza Williams and Samuel Jones Sr.

Oneda was a beacon of light, illuminating the lives of those around her. Oneda pursued a love for Christ with unwavering passion, faithfulness, favor and gratitude and was baptized by the late Rev. Rayborn of The Christian Assembly Church in Gonzales, LA. Oneda served those she loved with kindness, humility, devotion, allegiance, and esteemed honor. Kindness was the language that flowed through Oneda’s veins. She volunteered her time to her family and friend's events offering her legendary cooking to anyone that requested.
