James Donald Morrison

Dr. James Donald Morrison Beloved father, physician, husband, and friend May 6, 1935 – November 22, 2025 Dr. Jim Morrison, 90, formerly from Seaford, VA, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025, surrounded by his loving daughters. A devoted physician and a man of quiet kindness, he leaves behind a legacy of compassion, curiosity, and a lifetime spent caring for others. Born in Huntington, WV, Jim pursued his love of learning by earning multiple degrees at Marshall University before obtaining his doctorate in medicine from West Virginia University in 1967. He went on to serve as an Obstetrician/Gynecologist in both the Army and private practice for more than six decades. Known for his gentle presence, booming voice, careful listening, and steady hands, he made generations of patients feel safe, seen, and understood. Even in retirement, he continued offering support and guidance to those who sought his wisdom. Jim was equally devoted to his family. He loved reading, researching new topics, debating ideas, admiring classic cars, and spending time outdoors. His curiosity and warmth enriched every part of his life. He is survived by his daughters, Susan Little (Garrett) and Sara Pickens (Roderick); his sister, Sandee Damron; nine grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; and his niece, nephews, friends, colleagues, and former patients who were touched by his care. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ann Morrison, and daughters, Debra and Elizabeth. A memorial gathering to honor Jim's life and legacy will be held on December 3, 2025 at Kalas Funeral Home, 2973 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater, Maryland beginning at 5:00 PM.
