Ralph and the future Pat Morrow met in Montebello, when she was 14. They were married for 53 years.
She raised money for all of the local Avalon charities. The Rotary Club gave her the Paula Harris Award for 1997-98. The Catalina Islander named her Citizen of the Year in 1998. She loved singing and dancing. “She had a lot of fun while she was here,” Ralph Morrow said.
She became ill seven years ago. She endured four heart surgeries before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Then, about four years ago, Pat Morrow had a stroke. The stroke left her only able to say one word.
“She could sing a little bit after her stroke,” he said.
