Ann was born July 17th, 1947 in Burns. She grew up on her family’s ranch and lived there until her father Henry’s death in 1958. She moved to the Gresham area with her family. Ann forever felt connected to her family in Harney County. She was a proud descendent of settlers who moved west in covered wagons.
Ann received her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Oregon in 1969, and then her Juris Doctorate in 1976. She worked with at-risk youth for a number of years, and then took a job at a law firm until her retirement in 2020.
Ann met her future husband Randy Morris while square dancing. The two wed in 1987, living in Portland. Their house was always full of Ann’s cherished canine companions. She proudly raised and trained sport dogs, winning numerous competitions and developing a beloved reputation amongst her peers.
Ann is survived by her husband, two brothers, two nephews, a niece, and two great nieces. She was preceded in death by her father Henry and mother Phyllis.
Even as the years passed and Ann underwent cancer treatment, she never missed an opportunity to send her family goofy Christmas gifts and thoughtful cards.
We’ll forever remember her.
