Susan Louise Morris, beloved wife and mother, died peacefully in her Hyde Park home on May 14, 2024, while surrounded by family. She was 73 years old. Sue was born in Poughkeepsie and spent her entire life in the Hudson Valley. She was a mother of five children and had a deep love of animals, caring for numerous cats and dogs who needed a home.

She was deeply rooted in the Hyde Park community. She was a Girl Scout Brownie Troop leader and was widely recognized from her jobs at the Hudson Valley Credit Union, Molloy Pharmacy, and as an Election Day poll worker.

She found her dream job working with animals at the Red Hook Veterinary Hospital, where she worked for more than 20 years, and took in many injured animals without a home who arrived at the vet. She was Dr. James MacDonald's trusted aid until she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022. She was so vital to the operation that the hospital closed in the next few months.

Sue is survived by her husband, John Morris, her children, Daniel Crouse, Julie Mitchell, Scott Morris, David Morris and Elizabeth Morris, her grandson, Oren Dollenger, her mother, Nancy Hoolihan, her sister, Sherry Conklin, and her brother, David Hoolihan.
