SURRY – Joan E. Morse, 69, died unexpectedly Jan. 31, 2008, at her residence. She was born Sept. 11, 1938, in Blue Hill, the daughter of Sidney Moon and Ester Irene Young. Joan had a very gentle soul. She was always loving, giving and always helping others; whether she knew them forever, or a while or just met them that day. It might be with food, clothing, money, hugs, smiles or an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on and always a loving voice to talk to. Her love really shined in her beautiful wedding cakes, her cooking, our 4th of July’s, our loving fun and warm Christmas’ or just a visit at their home.
