Mildred L. (Hadley) Morrison, 100

Mildred L. (Hadley) Morrison, 100, passed away on Sunday, May 30, 2010, at Prestige Assisted Living in Kalispell. She was born on April 26, 1910, in Fullerton, Neb., the daughter of Oscar R. and Lola Edith (Krusor) Hadley. On June 11, 1933, Mildred and Frank J. Morrison were married in Fullerton. The couple and their 1-year-old daughter Charlotte moved to Kalispell in the fall of 1936. In 1939, they welcomed the birth of their son, John. During the late spring of 1942, the family moved to California where they stayed for three years helping in the war effort. In 1946, together they built the Morrison Service Garage on the back lot of their home. Mildred kept the books and expedited parts from local stores. In 1953, they bought a 20-acre farm about four miles from town. Here they raised a few cows, many chickens and a large garden. Mildred canned and froze the vegetables for good winter eating. Mildred s friends and family were the center of her life, always greeting them with a smile, a hug and home-baked cakes, cookies or pies. Mildred s family wishes to thank the loving care she received from Prestige Assisted Living and Hospice. A special thanks goes to Dexter for all his love and tailwags he had for Mildred. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank; and her son, John. She is survived by her daughter, Charlotte Baker, and husband, Tom, of Pennsylvania; her grandchildren, Alan Horst and wife Patti, Rhee Schielein and husband Johnny, Carolyn Love and husband Rich, Melissa Paullson and husband Richard, and Michelle Arceneaux; 10 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson.
