Carrie was born in Muskegon, MI on November 29, 1937 to Ruben and Una (Gilbert) Zimmerman.
Carrie resided in Muskegon with her parents and older brother William G. Zimmerman until she went to Albion College. While there Carrie received a Bachelors degree in Education and met her husband Lathrop ‘Bud’ Morse. After graduating from college they married and moved to Saugatuck, MI where they grew their family. Prior to the birth of their first child, Carrie spent some time teaching elementary students. Later Carrie worked at the Saugatuck City Hall where she did light clerical work for a few years prior to retirement.
After retirement Carrie enjoyed traveling to all 50 states and many countries with her husband Bud. In the winter months they would spend time in Arizona where they were active participants of Calvary Baptist Church. They also spent time with friends playing cards and having conversations about their families and past adventures. Carrie also volunteered as a Cave Guide with Bud at Kartchner State Park in the Caverns.
Carrie is survived by her daughters Lori (Joe) Siska and Julie (Jesse) Ramirez, and son Lathrop “Skip” (Carrie) Morse, III. They also have 15 loving grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Carrie was also lucky to have a large loving network of extended family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Bud Morse on January 6, 2018, her parents, in-laws, brother-in-law Robert C. Morse and brother William G. Zimmerman.
