Hatten; father, Edgar Morton, Sr. of Hawthorne, CA; siblings, Patricia (Wayne) Maynor, Edgar Morton, Jr. and Edward Morton of Hawthorne, CA; sisters-in-law Ivonne Backey, Carolyn Foster; brothers-in-law Tyrone Hargrove, Willie (Dana) Hatten; aunts Beatrice Headen, Ernestine New, Dorothy Leek, and Ida Morton Richardson Oxnard, CA; uncles Fred Battle and Cornelius Battle.
