Jane Ruth Morrison, loving wife, mother and Mema, graduated from Center High School and later married the
love of her life, Tommy Morrison. The couple was a “24/7” team both inside and outside of their home. In
1984, their partnership expanded when Jane Ruth joined the family business working alongside her husband at
Morrison Insurance Agency where she played an active role until retiring in 2023. Jane Ruth was always
impeccably dressed, whether going to the farm or a special outing. Regardless of the situation, this gracious lady
had a kind word for those she came in contact with. She was an avid bridge player and hosted her Club the
month prior to her death. She was a long-time member of Beta Sigma Phi and the Center Woman’s Reading Club
where she made many lifelong friends. While known as wonderful hostess and compassionate friend, in her role
as “Mema” she made every grandchild feel special. While each will treasure the birthday cards containing a $10
bill and the inscription, “Enjoy a hamburger on me!”, the memories of amazing arm and back scratches, Jello
cups with fruit or riding in the front of the truck with “Big Daddy” and stopping at Gene’s to share 1 can of Coke
and 1 can of Vienna sausage will never be forgotten. Jane Ruth Morrison leaves behind a legacy that will be
treasured by all who knew her.
