Obituary of Ann Morris

It is with sadness that the family of Margaret "Ann" Morris, of Hampton, NB, wife of Ian Morris announces her death which occurred on Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at her residence. Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka on January 12, 1948, she was the daughter of the late John and Winnifred (Lindsey-White) Thomson. Ann went through boarding school in Scotland at a young age and then continued into nursing and midwifery as she grew older. She emigrated in 1976 with her husband and eldest son to Canada, a land she came to know as home. First settling in Ontario, Ann gave her all to loving and supporting her family. She raised her two sons with care and compassion and taught them to be independent, honourable and trustworthy. Moving to New Brunswick in 1986, Ann worked part time in the Cytology Department at the Saint John Regional Hospital where she became known as "The English Lady" with her favourite phrase being "Bloody Hell". Through her life Ann supported and accompanied her husband as he worked in Germany, the UK and the USA after the Frigate program wound down; she was the rock who helped out in every way she could during these travels. Ann was the most loyal and selfless of people and in the words of a close friend, "Ann was a most remarkable lady". She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Ann is survived by her loving husband Ian Morris of 44 years; sons Steve Morris (Angela Davis) of Quispamsis, NB, and Chris Morris of Red Deer, AB; and brother Mark (Beth) Thomson of North Carolina, US. Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral Home (506-832-5541), 1063 Main Street, Hampton, NB, and will be privately held. Interment will take place at a later date. Donations in memory of Ann may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society or to the memorial of donor’s choice. Personal condolences to the family and donations may be made through ReidsFH.com
