Shirley Morrow
Shirley Morrow, 88, of Marietta was born on October 17, 1937 in Noble Co. Ohio to the late Mary Stevens Orr Rogers, and James Urban Orr.
In her final hours on September 19, 2026, she was surrounded by the quiet love of her family, a bright red cardinal appeared on the windowsill- a gentle reminder of her beloved husband, Kenny, coming to guide her home before she peacefully departed her life on earth. She leaves behind a life defined by extraordinary devotion, boundless nurturing, and a love story for the ages. Known for her gentle strength and generous spirit, Shirley touched countless lives as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, babysitter, neighbor, and friend. It’s fitting to say that her legacy is stitched into the hearts of everyone she raised, cared for, and loved. One stitch at a time, she ‘quilted’ the most beautiful works of heart that were her cherished relationships with those dear to her.
