June Morris, who built a travel empire in Utah, dies at 90

June Morris started her travel agency at a desk in her husband’s photo-finishing business.

She grew Morris Travel into a Utah powerhouse, and spun off her own discount airline, Morris Air — which she sold to Southwest Airlines in 1993 for $128.5 million.

Morris died on July 23. She was 90.
