CATHERINE DORA MORRISSEY 

  Catherine Dora Morrissey, 91, of Arco, Idaho quietly passed away in 
her sleep at home on May 30, 2004.
  She was born January 25, 1913 in Tyrone to Ira John and Mabel 
Catherine (Mattern) Cupp. Catherine was raised in Northwood and 
attended Tyrone High School.
  On March 17, 1932, she married John Frank Morrissey in Cumberland, 
Md. They made their home in Tyrone for over 60 years. In 1993 they 
moved to Arco, Idaho where they have resided since. John passed away in 
1999.
  Children were the light of Catherine's life. They must have felt her 
love, because they all loved her. She also enjoyed crossword puzzles 
and reading anything from westerns to medicinal. She was a member of 
the International Graphoanalysis Society.
  Surviving are two sons, John I. Morrissey of Plymouth, Mich. and 
Michael A. Morrissey of Arco, Idaho; a daughter, Patricia Turnbaugh of 
Tyrone and a sister, Florence Boyd of Tyrone. There are six 
grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death 
by her husband, John and a brother, Perry J. Cupp.
  Private family graveside services will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, 
June 14, 2004 at the Grandview Cemetery, Snyder Twp. with Rev. Paul V. 
Sweitzer officiating.
  Arrangements are by the Derman Funeral Home, Inc., Tyrone.
