Morey, age 84, passed away on Friday, December 28, 2018, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.  Her body is gone, but her spirit and soul will be with all who loved and knew her forever.  Her talents as a teacher, Mother, Grandmother, mentor, friend, sibling, and loving wife will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.  She was a true child of God, who served his teachings by example.  She had the innate ability to put life in its proper perspective, caring for and loving those in need.  She enhanced the beauty of our world through her art, her flower gardens and love of nature.

She is survived by her husband, Dale;  five children, Dana Sanft (David), Debbie Marx (Steve), Dawn Fassbender (Paul), Paula Whitaker (Jim), and Dane Morey (Tammy);  11 grandchildren;  8 and 9/10’s great-grandchildren;  brothers and sisters, many loving nieces and nephews, other near relatives and dear friends.  She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Camela, and a very special grandmother, Ingabor Jensen.
