Granny Morrison's Obituary

THE END OF A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN LIFE

Ruth Blaine Brown Morrison, the widow of Dorsey Raymond Morrison and a resident of Beattyville, KY; was born in Morgan County, Kentucky, to Luther and Barbara Taulbee Brown, on January 27, 1915.
She became a “Born Again” and “Holy Spirit Filled Christian” in 1930 at the age of fifteen years; and served God faithfully the rest of her life. She was a wife, a stay at home mother that worked 24/7 and was always there for her family and anyone else that needed her. During her life she taught Sunday School classes, was a Special Lay Speaker most of her adult life. In her later years she was well known in Lee & Owsley Counties for making candy, and selling it for the Lord’s work. However, the thing she was best known for was her love, faith and prayers.
Those of us she has temporarily left behind; not to MOURN her, but to JOIN her, are; sons Charles Gordon Morrison of Erwin, TN, Donald Ray Morrison of Jonesborough, TN, Timothy Keith Morrison of Beattyville, KY. and a daughter Patricia Morrison Haymaker of Beattyville, KY. From six children, she was blessed with 18 grandchildren, 52 Great grandchildren and 7 Great-Great grandchildren. She also leaves her only sister, Joyce Brown Dillon of Middletown, OH, and many more family and friends.
She leaves a great void in many
lives, and will be greatly missed
by all who knew her.
Ruth Blaine Morrison went home to be with her Lord on January 5, 2010 at her home.
She died as she had lived as in 2Ti 4:7,8, 9
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.
