Penny Morse Obituary
She was a strong and compassionate wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was exceptional with her hands and enjoyed spending her spare time sewing, knitting, and crocheting gifts for her many children and grandchildren.
Penny will be lovingly remembered by her husband Michael Morse, whom she married on September 12, 2012, and who will adore her eternally. Also surviving are eight children, Angela Efta-Baird, Christopher (Amy) Efta, Jarohmia (Leslie) Efta, Dustin Efta, David (Sarah) Morse, Brian Morse, Maria (Nicole) Morse, and Libby Morse; two sisters, Sandy (Miles) Efta and Linda (Jerry) McBain; and 14 grandchildren. Penny was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Verla Doeden; son, Ricky Efta, and many other family members and friends she was very excited to be reunited with.
