Edna P. Morrison

Edna P. Morrison, 85, of Corning, NY passed away on September 29, 2022 at the Corning Center.

Edna was born on November 14, 1936 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, the daughter of Phillip Perry and Dora Clark. She met and married her husband, Stuart L. Morrison, who was serving with the U.S. Navy on loan to the Royal Canadian Navy at HMCS Coverdale, New Brunswick, Canada.

The couple traveled together for the next 12 years while Stuart completed his assignments at U.S. Naval Communications Stations located in Puerto Rico, Cheltenham, MD, North Pacific on Midway Island, Winter Harbor, ME and Wahiawa, Hawaii. Upon retirement from the Navy they settled in Corning.

By all who knew her, Edna was an avid reader, sometimes having two or three books going at the same time. Being well read, she was somewhat of a whiz in answering Jeopardy clues. She treasured the moments spent visiting and sipping red rose tea with her "adopted" daughters, Sandy and Sue McInroy.

Edna is survived by her husband, Stuart; daughter, Paula (Robert) Pacy of Exeter, NH; son, Stuart P. Morrison; and granddaughters: Emily, Jesse and Lydia of Lebanon, ME. In Canada, she is survived by her sister's children: Vicky (Gary) Arnstowski, Michael Nichols, Crystal Eagan, Bradley Nichols, and Kelly (Ashley) Nichols.

She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Nedra Morrison-Webster; sister, Ramona Nichols; and brother-in-law, Jack Nichols.

There will be no calling hours at this time. A funeral service will be conducted at a future date in Canada.

Edna's family has entrusted her care to Haughey Funeral Home, Inc.
