Florence Owens Satchell, FUHS ’56 forwarded this message from Chris Morse McClure and asked that it be posted.


Dear Family and Friends of Cheri Morse,
Since John and Cheri traveled far and wide, there are many of you at too great a distance to bid farewell to her in person. This is an invitation to remember Cheri's life and share you memories of her with John and us "kids" in spirit and electronically. We will be holding a memorial service for Cheri at her home in Washington at 3:00 on Saturday, October 22nd, and would be grateful to receive a few words about Cheri to share aloud with those gathered and add to our memory book. Below is the official obituary which will be published in the Columbian. You may email memories to Chris, Adam or Dave, or post them on-line starting Sunday at www.columbian.com/obits

be missed more than we can say.
She was an artist in the mediums of quilting, sewing, cake
decorating, and international gourmet cuisine among others.
Cheri is survived by her husband John Morse and her three children and their spouses: Chris and Brent McClure, Adam and Suzie Morse, and Dave and Amy Morse, as well as 7
