Evelyn Gaye Anderson-Morrison

I did everything possible to delay writing this notice of my mother, Evelyn Gaye Anderson

Morrison, passing. She was killed in a car accident driving home from taking her husband, Lee

Morrison, to his horse-therapy class in Fort Collins. This happened only a few months after the

tragic death of her son and my beautiful little brother, Justin Scott Anderson.

Those of you who knew Gaye can understand why I can barely write this notice. She was an

incredible being full of love and compassion for all living things. She treasured Mother Earth

and was always full of gratitude for her life. She taught my brother and I to be honest, fair, kind,

caring and to work hard, never to think anyone is better than anyone else.

She was smart and successful, raised two children by herself while achieving a master’s

degree in public health and serving as a director at the Weld County Health Department. She

contributed greatly to her community and always wanted to help people and animals.

I am happy that my mother suffers no longer. She was tired from the years of selfless care

giving and heartbroken over the unnecessary death of her son.

She leaves behind few, her twin sister Kay Anderson, grandson Luca Anderson Cero, brother

Robert Harrison, nephews Josh Anderson and Bobby Harrison, husband Lee Morrison, Amy

Morrison, Sweetpea the chicken, her kitty babies and myself. May she rest in peace and have

all the fun and freedom she so deserves. I know many will miss her. She was such a special

person and gift to this world.

The only solace I have is that she is where she wants to be now, with the Creator.

Donations in her name can be made to the Greeley Humane Society.

A service will be held this summer for her.
