Joanne Shirley Morrison
1932-2017
We are sad to announce the passing on February
5th, of long-time Saint John business woman and
our mother, Joanne Shirley (Everett) Morrison. A daughter of the late
Esther and Barney Everett, she is survived by her loving children Mark
(Cathy), Debra, Nancy (Peter), and Robin (James); sister Martha
Dantowitz; her beloved grandchildren, Joshua and Sarah Morrison,
Michaela and Ethan Title, Jennifer and Alex Claus; her cousins and
niece and nephews.
A graduate of the Saint John High School class of 1949, she
then attended Dalhousie University and graduated from Boston
University with a degree in Business Administration. A
successful single, working mother before it was commonplace, she
started the Morrison Art Gallery where she promoted Atlantic Canadian
artists. Marketing manager at Calps and marketing director for Market
Square followed, but wanting to be her own boss, she started Morrison
Marketing in 1987, retiring only when ill health slowed her down at
the age of 80. She was a long-time member of the Shaari
Zedek Synagogue and a life-time member of Haddassah-Wizo. A
prolific reader, she also enjoyed curling and was a dedicated Mah
Jongg player with her devoted friends Janet, Linda and
Susan. Thank you to her longtime caregivers Connie Bustin
and KathynYeomans and to the staff of Shannex Parkland Embassy Hall,
her home for the last 2 years.
