Charleen Morrison, 82 of Kalkaska went to see the Lord on March 28, 2026. She was born on May 5, 1943 in Flint the daughter of the late Edward and Myrtle (Hutchinson) Morrison, Sr. It is with heavy hearts and tears in their eyes her siblings announce her death. Char graduated from Mason County Central High School in Scottville, MI. In her art classes she tapped into her creative side which she used throughout her life. Goal oriented was another of her attributes. She also wrote many poems, songs and stories. While in her 70’s she published a book entitled, “Grace Moments” which is a perfect example of the life of grace she lived. She and her whole family have spent a lifetime proclaiming their faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ from the pulpit. During her life she worked a full-time job as the manager in food service and after hours would visit the sick and afflicted in hospitals and take special care of her flock. She was substituting as a pastor and ending up becoming fulltime pastor for over 30 years. Under her leadership the congregation planned and built a new church, among many other projects. Char was a devoted aunt to her nieces and nephews, making sure they had fresh cookies when they would come to visit or go on trips with her. In fact, when on her death bed she was giving Marilyn her cookie recipe. She was devoted most of all to lifting them up in prayer. In latter days, those praying for her would hear her praying for them. Even in the last few days when her voice was no longer audible, she would lift her hand and you knew that she was praying. Char is survived by her siblings, Lawrence Morrison, Carol Carddock both of North Carolina, Edward Morrison, Jr., of Flint and Marilyn Morrison of Kalkaska; numerous nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews; and great-great nieces and nephews. Proceeding Char in death is her brothers, Dale Morrison, David Morrison; niece Robin Weaver; nephew Dale Morrison, Jr. Funeral services will be held on Friday, April 3rd at 1:00 pm at the Kalkaska Church of Christ with visitation beginning at 11:00 am until the time of service.
