Anne was born in Rye, East Sussex. Her parents were Jim and Kate Turk, the youngest of three - Christine (now deceased) was the eldest, then Malcolm (still alive and living in Rye) and then Anne herself.
Anne met her husband, Roy Morris, whilst working as a cashier in Lloyd’s Bank Hastings whilst he was paying money in for his work. Anne and Roy got married on 7/1/1967 and were married for 58 years. They lived in St Leonards on Sea, Hastings for most of their life at 20 Fernside Avenue. They moved to Skipton in 2016 to be closer to Sian and family, living at 47 Hepworth Way until April 2024 when due to failing health they moved to The Mill House Care Home.
Together Anne and Roy had one daughter Sian and later two grandchildren Rufus who is 19 and Scarlett who is 17.
Anne had beautiful red hair and both Sian and Anne's grandchildren are also red heads just like her!! She was VERY stubborn and also very organised.
Anne worked as a Bank Clerk at Lloyds Bank Hastings all of her working life and retired in her 50’s. Together Anne and Roy loved travelling to exotic places and exploring the world.
Both Anne and Roy loved exercise and ran many half marathons and the London Marathon to raise money for guide dogs.
Until about 12 months ago Anne and Roy were going to the gym most days.
Anne was very sociable- she loved chatting, meals out, afternoon teas, red wine, chocolate. She was happiest socialising with friends and family. Friends and family meant everything to Anne! She also liked having her nails done every 3 weeks- usually bright colours!
In later years Roy developed Vascular Dementia and Anne was his carer until a few weeks before she died.
Anne was diagnosed with Fallopian Tube and Peritoneal Cancer in 2023, She had chemotherapy and surgery but it came back. She fought it bravely until she passed away on 29/8/2025.
The day before she died Anne was fully dressed, put her lipstick and makeup on and wanted daughter Sian to spray her with perfume.
Rest in peace Anne, always loved and sadly missed
