Ms Morris celebrated her birthday on Sunday, July 12, at her Vittoria Street home with her friends and family.
And then on Tuesday she went for her weekly round of cards at the Bathurst Golf Club, where she enjoyed a cake.
When she turned 100 back in 2017, it was a big deal, receiving cards from family, friends, members of parliament, the Queen and she also received an apostolic blessing from the Pope.
Does 103 feel any different to 100?
"No, it doesn't feel any different," Ms Morris said.
Born in Bathurst way back in 1917, Ms Morris was the fourth eldest of 10 children.
She's been living at the same house for 72 years and she's been on her own for the past 41 years.
"I can still look after myself and do things," she said.
"I had my license for 75 years, but I gave it up when I was 99. I get around by taxi or friends.
"I get the community car up to the golf club every Tuesday."
Ms Morris is quite unique because she's living through a second major global pandemic.
The Spanish flu wreaked havoc across the world from 1918 to 1920, but she has no memory of that pandemic.
"I don't remember it. I was born as it ended but this one is pretty nasty," she said.
"But I can't remember when I had a cold, which is good."
And at 103, you'd think Ms Morris has the secret to long life.
"I wouldn't have a clue," she laughed.
"I was one of 10 and I'm the fourth eldest, but I wouldn't have a clue why I'm still here."
