Angela Dawn Morris

1982 - 2023

Following a lengthy battle with mental health and addiction, Angela Dawn Morris passed away suddenly on June 5, 2023 at the age of 40. Angela lived a full life, although unfairly short. She was a spunky and vivacious child, a born leader whose love for music was apparent from an early age, exemplified in wild hair and a fashion style all her own. I

n 2008, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, a testament to her dedication and compassion for others. Angela's nursing career led her to Vancouver Coastal Health, where she provided aid and support in Safe Injection Sites on East Hastings. Most recently she was studying psychotherapy and counseling. She already helped so many that struggled, and those who knew her had no doubt she would go on to help many more. Her travels brought her across the globe, where she made long lasting connections with people all over the world. Those who knew Angela accepted her unique spirit and zest for life. Angela had a deep love for her dogs, Butters and Zeus, who were faithful companions throughout her journey.

Angela will be greatly missed by her loving parents (Derrick and Judy), her younger sisters (Melissa and Victoria) and nephews (Liam and Lochlan) who admired and loved her youthful spirit. Angela's raw and unapologetic energy inspired others to embrace their own unique identities and be their most authentic selves.

To honour Angela's contributions to the music community, a Celebration of Life Concert is being held in Victoria, BC. Additionally, a private family memorial will take place at a later date in Newfoundland, where Angela's loved ones will come together to remember her in a more intimate setting. May her courageous battle inspire others to seek help, find strength in their struggles, and strive for a world where mental health and addiction are met with compassion and understanding.
