Jeanette Mike Morrison's Obituary
It is with great sadness that we regretfully announce the passing of Jeanette Mike Morrison, age 95, who died in her home in Hayward, California on October 26, 2021. Jeanette was born to Rajeeb and Helen Mikhail in Norwood, Massachusetts on June 27, 1926. She graduated from Norwood High School in 1944 before working in Business Services at AT&T. In 1973 she married Larry Morrison, and while they never had children, Jeanette shared a special bond with her nephew Ronald Hadge (Rex Paris), first born child of her older sister Nima, who was like the son she never had.
She was a loving wife, sister and aunt. Her warm personality, laughter and ready smile endeared her to all her who knew her. Jeanette had an adventurous spirit. She and her husband Larry were intrepid world travelers for many years. She loved to dance and sing, especially with Bea (Mabel), her sister and lifelong best friends of 89 years, harmonizing beautiful duets throughout their years together until Mabel’s death in 2018. Jeanette loved spending time in the kitchen creating delicious Syrian dishes for her family and friends. She was a generous, warm-hearted & very kind person who loved cats.
She was predeceased by her husband Larry Morrison, sisters Mabel Card, Kay Mike, Nima Mike Hadge, and brothers Charles Mike & Edward Mike and is survived by her niece Meredith Kennedy and nephew Ronald Hadge. Graveside services will be held at Holy Sepulchre in Hayward, California prior to burial at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
