Morrison (Al), brothers; Barnard and Bill Ashworth, grandchildren; Neil Morrison, Lara Reeves (Myron K.), and Adam Reeves, great grandchildren; Aidan and Ava Koblansky. Her blessings included loving nieces and nephews and their children. She treasured a sisterhood of friends who found themselves bound by education, church, love and concern for others.

As she requested and in lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Spray United Methodist Church food ministry.
