Obituary of Irene M. Morrison

Morrison, Irene M. (Lynch) – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Irene Morrison, who died at Bobby’s Hospice on Sunday, January 29, 2017 after a courageous battle with breast cancer. She will be dearly missed by family and cherished friends. Born in Halifax, NS on May 6, 1938, she was a daughter of the late Doris and Lula (Moore) Lynch. Irene is survived by her husband, Derek; one daughter, Kelly Flood (Patrick); sons, Andrew (Antonietta) and Donald Morrison; three grand-daughters, Kathryn and Claire Flood, and Samantha Morrison; siblings: Victor, Sherman, Gyde, Carman, Lester, Olive, Verna, Maxine and Shirley; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents and siblings: Lloyd, Rheta, Charlie, Jamie and Lillian. Irene (Granny) touched the hearts of many with her strong faith and passion for life. She was always on hand for support and understanding. She found beauty in everyday life, by walking wherever her feet took her and enjoying the company of anyone she met along the way. She was a hard worker, and always put the needs of others before her own. We will always treasure her sense of humour and her thoughtful and kind ways. We will miss you Irene (Mum, Granny), but your spirit is forever in our hearts. The family is very grateful to the entire staff of Bobby’s Hospice for the care and compassion they offered in Irene’s final weeks. Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Irene’s life will be held on Friday, February 3, 2017 at 10:00 AM from Brenan’s Funeral Home Chapel, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (634-7424) with a reception to follow.
