Carol Ann Morris (formerly Eisele), 73, passed away on October 11, 2023, after being diagnosed with bile duct liver cancer 13 months prior. She spent her last moments peacefully in the loving care of Hospice and Palliative Care Buffalo, in Buffalo New York.
Born in Philadelphia, PA, daughter of the late Carl and Mary Eisele, who were local flower shop owners in Olney, PA, Carol is survived by her husband John Morris, daughters Carol Bertola (Tim), Teri Foley (Carl Pluim), Danielle Foley, and Kathleen Smith, and her two grandchildren Tyler Smith and Ashley Smith.
She graduated from Cardinal Dougherty High school (Class of 1967) and Gwynedd-Mercy College (Class of 1969) and worked as a medical secretary and homemaker while raising her four daughters.
Known for her warm, kind heart and playful sense of humor, Carol was a remarkable person who touched the lives of all who she met. Whether it was the server at the diner that she and her beloved husband John frequented, or the nurses at the chemo center, someone was always commenting on how sweet she was and how she left a special impression on them.
She loved to crochet her afghan blankets. Even while she was sick and weak from chemo, she spent her time making afghans for the new chemo patients at the cancer center. She also loved cardinals, cats, Irish music, tea (hot or iced) and anything pink. These were a few of her favorite things.
She was a very spiritual soul and had an incredible faith. She was not afraid to die, and she knew God would be smiling upon her as she transitioned over.
Carol will be dearly missed by her husband, family, and close friends. Per Carol’s request, there will be no memorial service held.
