Elinore Morrison

Elinore Morrison, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 20th, 2026, at the age of 90. Born on Thursday, June 11th, 1936, daughter of Hazen and Lousie (Hay) Dailey. On May 17, 1958 in Portland, Maine, Elinore married the love of her life, Sumner Morrison, and he survives in Centralia. A devoted and loving partner, Elinore is survived by her husband of 68 years, Sumner Morrison. Together, they built a life full of laughter, love, and shared dreams. Elinore will forever be remembered by her son, Sumner "Sonny" Morrison, Jr., and her daughter, Michelle York, who were inspired by her unwavering support and kindness. Her legacy extends to her cherished grandchildren, Johnny York, Peyton York, and Mindy Sasso, and is carried on by her four precious great-grandchildren. Elinore was predeceased by her parents, Hazen and Louise Dailey, as well as a sister and a brother. Despite these losses, her faith and resilience shone brightly through her dedication to family and community. Elinore's life was defined by her gentle and compassionate spirit. A graduate of Eastern Nazarene College, she dedicated her professional life to serving others as a bank teller with the Genfed Credit Union. Her commitment to her job was matched only by her dedication to her spiritual home, Salem Grace Church of the Nazarene. Elinore's faith was a guiding force in her life, and her involvement with her church community was a testament to her deep-seated beliefs and values. In respecting Elinore's final wishes, cremation rites will be accorded and no public services will be held at this time. The family finds comfort in honoring her decisions and cherishing the personal memories they hold dear.
