Jean Catlos Morrison, beloved wife, loving mother, grandmother, sister, and dedicated homemaker, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2024. Born on January 26, 1943, in Salem, OH, Jean lived a life full of compassion, love, and service to others.
Following her graduation from Salem High School, Jean ventured to Cleveland, where she met the love of her life, Tom Morrison. They married on August 1, 1964, and began their journey together, moving to various cities including Milwaukee, WI, and Dallas, TX, before settling in Lubbock in June 1974.
Jean’s life was characterized by her unwavering commitment to helping those in need. She volunteered tirelessly for over 10 years with organizations such as Adult Protective Services and Lubbock Meals on Wheels, always ready to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed. She also found joy in being a devoted girl scout leader for her daughter’s troop and embraced every opportunity to support her family in their activities.
A member of Christ the King Catholic Cathedral, Jean’s faith was the cornerstone of her life, guiding her actions and bringing her solace and strength. She was known for her culinary talents, especially her famous Halushkie recipe, that has been passed down through the generations before and after her. Jean was truly a lover of animals.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Tom; son, Timothy Morrison and wife Christy; daughter, Maureen West; grandchildren, Keaton Hernandez and husband Brian, Colton West and wife Amber, Carson West, and Christopher Morrison; great grandson, Lane West; and sister, Carol Moyer and husband Thomas.
