It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Shirley Annette Morrison, 83, who left us on October 15th, 2024, peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. Born on July 9th, 1941, Shirley lived a life full of love, laughter, and unwavering kindness. She was welcomed into heaven by her parents Frank and Shirley Marrs, and her younger sister Carolyn Wade (Jo Jo). She leaves behind her younger brother Craig Marrs. Shirley was married to her devoted husband Raymond Morrison for 65 beautiful years, a partnership built on love, respect, and shared dreams. Together, they raised three wonderful children, Nancy Forster & husband Bill, David Morrison & wife Rhonda, Michael Morrison & wife Shauna, who were the pride and joy of her life, and her beloved nieces who she loved like her own daughters, Leasa Bussey, Jodi De Serrano, and Gina Latham. Her legacy lives on in them, as well as in her cherished grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Shirley enjoyed a long and fulfilling career at Hertz where she retired in 2006 after 26 years. She made lasting friendships and earned the affection of her coworkers. Her bright spirit and caring nature made her a beloved presence in the workplace, and she was admired for her dedication and sweet disposition. A beacon of warmth, Shirley had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel special. Her affectionate spirit and vibrant personality lit up every room she entered, and those who met her were instantly drawn to her pure nature. She had a gift for caring deeply for others, and her love extended to family, friends, and even strangers. Shirley enjoyed going to church and growing in her relationship with Christ, spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, which brought her immense joy and allowed her to create countless cherished memories. Whether she was helping to raise her nieces after her sister’s passing, or picking up her great-grandchildren from school, she poured her heart into everything she did and lived a life of service to her family. She leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion, reminding us all to cherish each moment and to spread love and kindness wherever we go. Her laughter and hugs will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will continue to inspire us every day.
