Obituaries - Marie Lucille Morrison

Marie Lucille (Barber Haynes) Morrison passed away  peacefully in her home on August 30, 2025 at the age of 86. She was born on March 14, 1939 in Fleischmanns, NY to Flora and Harris Barber. She grew up with a big family in a small town and family has always been the center of her life. She had a huge heart for others and spent her entire life devoted to her family and caring for those that she loved.

She knew both joy and heartache throughout her life. She and her late husband Frederick Haynes raised 6 children before his death in 1990. She is also predeceased by her second husband Russell Morrison, her parents, Flora and Harris, her siblings Sally and Jimmy and her three daughters Tracy, Tammy  and Theresa. Even through grief, Marie remained a steady source of love and comfort to her family and those around her. 

Her greatest joy was her family and her legacy lives on through her surviving family that loved her dearly. Her three sons, Terry (Madeline), Troy (Maureen), and Frederick (Chrissy). Her two brothers Clyde (Kay), and John (Loretta), her ten grandchildren, and her many great grandchildren and extended family. To each of them she was more than a mother or grandmother, she was the heart of the family and a source of unconditional love who will be deeply missed. 

Marie Morrison was an incredible woman of great strength and love. She was a blessing to everyone around her, reminding us to pay attention to what truly matters in life, faith and family. She kept her eyes fixed on the goodness around her, even as she walked through extreme grief and difficulties. Her love was unconditional and her heart for others was evident. If you were lucky enough to receive even just one of her long, warm hugs, you've carried with you a piece of her love. Her legacy will live on through the many lives that she touched, and through her family who adored her. 

There will be a celebration of life on September 27th from 1-3 pm at the Margaretville Fire Hall. Her family invites all who loved her to join us in honoring an amazing woman who left a mark on many lives.
