Audrey D. Morrison

Audrey Dawn Morrison, 86, passed away peacefully on January, 21 surrounded by her family. She was born and raised in the New Zealand countryside, and then later trained as a nurse in Dunedin, NZ where she met her future husband Norman Morrison, a graduate student at the University of Otago. After they married in 1956, she and her young family came to the United States in 1960 and became a long-time resident of Baltimore's Roland Park, and a nursing supervisor at Keswick Multi-Care Center in Baltimore. An experienced hiker of the NZ Fiordlands, Girl Scout leader, church volunteer, and master horsewomen, she participated in many equestrian events with her children. Her love for nature and the outdoors made her well know for her beautiful rose gardens and love of birds and animals. She retired to the Village of Waugh Chapel, Gambrills, MD in 2004 to devote time to her family and friends. She is survived by her husband Norman, her children Anne, Helen, Carol, and John; son-in-laws Mark, and Stanley, daughter-in-law Karen, and 10 grandchildren.
