Margaret Ann Morrison, a lifelong resident of White Oak Township, died peacefully on July 25, 2026 surrounded by her loving family.

She was born at Rowe Memorial Hospital in Stockbridge, MI, the daughter of Elmer and Marie (Guinan) Phelps and grew up with her siblings on the family dairy farm.

She married Richard L. Morrison on August 22, 1964, at Sts. Cornelius and Cyprian Catholic Church in Bunker Hill, officiated by Fr. Charles Christopher, a close personal friend of Richard. Together they raised their family on a small farm.  Nothing brought greater joy to Margaret than family and friends, and she found quiet contentment caring for her family and tending her extensive flower gardens. She and Richard enjoyed trips to St. Clair, watching the freighters from a special location on the St. Clair River. She was a devoted Irish Catholic, and her steadfast faith remained a constant source of strength.  She was a parishioner at Sts. Cornelius and Cyprian Catholic Church for much of her life.

Margaret devoted most of her professional life to education, teaching in Stockbridge and Livonia, and she established the Special Education program at Mason Public Schools. She made a lasting difference in the lives of countless students and their families.

Margaret was predeceased by her parents; her sister, Mary Jeanne Phelps; brother, Peter Phelps; and her grandchild, Julia Nunally Rodriguez.

She is survived by her husband of nearly 62 years, Richard; her children, Rich Morrison (Connie), Kathleen Morrison, and Matthew Morrison;  grandchildren, Paul Rojas, Eva Rojas and husband, and Mixie Morrison;  two great-grandchildren; her brothers, Clark (Marie) Phelps,  and John Phelps;  and numerous nieces and nephews.

Margaret was an inspiration to all who knew her, and she touched many lives through her kindness, compassion, amazing will, and grace.  She faced many chronic illnesses and met each with resilience and faith. Her family extends heartfelt gratitude to the many caregivers who attended Margaret during her final days, especially her special friend, Sue.
