Hortense "Sis" (Blot) Morrison, 100, of Montrose, PA passed away peacefully on January 17, 2024 at The Mike Conley Hospice House, Clermont, FL.
Born on April 10, 1923 in Bronx, New York, Hortense was the daughter of Edward J. and Hortense (Oliver) Blot. She graduated from Walton High School and was employed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company until her move to Montrose, Pa, following her marriage to Kenneth B. Morrison on April 20, 1947. They enjoyed over 51 years of marriage and were blessed with seven children before his death on February 15, 1999.
Hortense was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She had many hobbies and interests, including reading, playing Scrabble, solving crossword puzzles, crocheting, traveling, and watching sports on TV, especially her New York Yankees. After raising her children, she worked for several years as a caregiver at Asa Park Manor. Hortense was an active member of the Holy Name of Mary Church and the Altar and Rosary Society. Her wonderful sense of humor, wit, enduring strength, and resilience will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. She lived 'One day at a time' and always loved her family 'Way More'!
