Patricia Morrison Obituary

Patricia Jane Morrison (Mary Lorraine Kopetski), 95, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2025, at Plum City Care Center, Plum City, Wisconsin.

Born on May 1, 1929, Patricia grew up in South Bend, Indiana, but spent her life in the Midwest. Patricia loved working for Studebaker Corp., The Elkhart Truth, Miles Lab (Bayer) and Accra Pac, Indiana. She also worked at Colt Industries, Beloit, Wisconsin.

Patricia enjoyed sailing on Eagle Lake in Michigan and gardening, but most of all spending time with her family. She is a proud great-grandmother and has left many lasting memories with all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by husband Richard Morrison, parents Frank and Tillie Kopetski, and siblings Dorothy (Gunther) Heflick and Michael Kopetski.

Patricia is survived by daughter Holly, granddaughter Cassandra, grandson Harmon, siblings Frederick, Dolores, Steve Frank, Joyce, Janet and many nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren and wonderful friends.

At a future date, a celebration of life service will be held at the St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park, Granger, Indiana. Patricia's memorials are preferred in lieu of flowers to Alzheimer's Association, 800-272-3900, or Dementia Society of America, dementiasociety.org, with indication of the memorial to be used for research in memory of Richard and Patricia Morrison.
