Morris Melbourne Morrison was born on December 20, 1933, to John and Irma Morrison during a stormy winter’s day in their family home near Herschel, Saskatchewan. He was the busy little brother who looked up to his older brother Jack, and the proud big brother of his baby sister, Marlene. Growing up in Herschel, Morris met his future wife, Jean Greenlees, and they married in October 1959. Together, they had four children; Sherri, Kelli, Terry and Kim.
In the beginning years Morris worked hard at his family's gravel company prior to engaging in a long time career as a grain buyer in Netherhill, SK. This is where he raised his young family and where he was a huge part of the community through to his retirement in 1993. Morris came out of retirement to pursue work as a crop insurance agent in the Northern parts of the province shortly after he and Jean relocated to their lake home at Aquadeo Beach. This resort village would remain Morris’s main home for many years. Following his loving wife’s passing in 2004 he spent a period of time residing in Kindersley and working at Caleb Village. As Morris grew older, he spent many winters living in Rosetown and summering at the lake. He eventually decided to live full time in Rosetown until the fall of 2025.
Morris believed in volunteering and participated on various committees and boards to better serve his communities.
Morris enjoyed various hobbies throughout his life that took him on many adventures, including; hockey, curling, golfing, bowling, fishing, and camping, just to name a few. He was extremely talented and creative when it came to woodworking, whittling, and carving.
Morris brought light, love, and kindness to everyone in his life and he will be deeply missed and forever loved.
There will be a Memorial Luncheon held to honour Morris' life at a future date in April (details to be announced) from the Brock Community Centre. Morris's ashes will be laid to rest along side his wife Jean in the Netherhill Cemetery. For those who wish to make a donation in his memory (in lieu of flowers), the family has chosen to support the Netherhill Cemetery fund.
