We Remember

MORRISON, Dawn “Dee”

Dawn Morrison, known as Dee to those in her circle, passed away August 14, 2024, surrounded by her family.

Dee battled a tremendous fight against cancer and even though it eventually took her life, it never took away her love and zest for living.

Born and raised in Kelowna, BC, it is here she met the love of her life, Scott. It was their passion for each other and creating a life together that took them to Calgary, AB. Their family became complete when their precious son, Peter, was born. Both Dee and Scott loved their son so much. It was Dee’s biggest sadness to know she would be leaving this earth and no longer able to be with her baby.

Sadly, Scott passed away suddenly two years ago after a horrific car accident while moving their family back to Kelowna. It left Dee both battling cancer without her “rock” and grieving the man who gave everything to help her thru the diagnosis, surgery, and treatments. Dee said spending time apart, for Scott-hunting and fishing and Dee-time in Mexico on the beach and watching the sealife, paddle boarding, spending time w friends, re kindled their love and appreciation for their life together.

Predeceased by her father Donald Fisher and father-in-law Norman Morrison, Dee leaves her son Peter and his girlfriend, Yuna; her mother Velma Fisher; brother Kelly; mother-in-law Madeline; and her brother-in-law Collin.

Dee’s circle of friends and family will miss the fierce love and loyalty felt as part of Dee’s pack. To know Dee was to know her love, her humour, and bravery.

Dee, you will be so missed.

Thank you to Dee’s team of doctors, nurses, staff, and Tikka – her feline guardian who took such good care of this incredible lady.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

No service will be held as requested by Dee.

    Peter And family I’m so sorry that your Mom is gone. She was the bravest lady I knew and she loved you guys fiercely and lil Tikka. I hope Tikka finds her new home peaceful and everything her Mom and Dad would want her to have. They will be watching over you guys and lil Tikka. I will miss my talks with her so much, her laugh, hearing about her life, joking around and hearing her stories about Tikka. Your Mom was a special lady and is missed. I’m thankful I knew her as a teenager that always was smiling and laughing as she was when I got to see and know her a few yrs ago. Sending prayers and hugs for your profound loss.

    Dear Peter and Family: today, I have lit a candle in memory of Dee. We have known each other for the past three years, through Wellspring Alberta, as Dee’s peer support. It was an honour to speak with Dee through the most difficult times but also through a few laughs shared. Dee’s obituary and messages written about Dee are a credit to her character. Solid, loving, kind, caring.telling truth. An example for all to live by.
    Peter, take good care. Your Mom would want that for you. With gratitude. Marilyn Ostryznik
