Jessie Morse Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 20, 2025.
Jessie (Burgess) Morse, 69, of Ellington, passed away on January 14th, 2025, after bravely battling COPD. She was the beloved wife of her loving husband and caregiver, Gary Morse.

A cherished homemaker and devoted mother of three, Jessie was the heart of her family, known for her unwavering empathy, gratitude, and love. Her life was centered on the joy of being surrounded by her loved ones, and she will forever be remembered for her selflessness, kindness, and deep connection to those she held dear.

A light in her family, Jessie was the cornerstone of communication and support, always bringing warmth to every conversation. She enjoyed many passions, including spending time at the beach, supporting TKB club events, and creating lasting memories with her family.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her three children, Derek Morse and wife Amy of Tolland, Dawn Balkus and husband Michael of Ellington, and Sean Morse and wife Larissa of Tolland. She also leaves behind her seven cherished grandchildren, Jordan, Alexandra, Charlotte, Kensley, Rachel, Faith, and Finley.

She is predeceased by her mother, Jean (Barties) Burgess; her brothers, Jeffrey Burgess and Gregory Burgess; her sister, Katherine Burgess and her niece, Mackenzie Burgess.

A Memorial service will be held at the Ladd and Carmon Funeral Home, 19 Ellington Avenue, Rockville, CT, 06066, on Friday, January 24th, from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM.
