Mairi Morrison

It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Mairi Nicola Morrison, who was taken from us far too soon on July 16, 2025, when she was struck by a USPS truck while on her daily walk. She was 64 years old.

Born on July 14, 1961, Mairi was a loving and dedicated daughter to the late Seoras and Paulette Morrison. She attended Holy Cross Elementary and Woodward High School, then earned her Bachelor of Arts from Wellesley College. She earned her JD from the University of Maryland, and her PhD from the University of Oxford in England. She taught law, practiced law and provided pro bono legal assistance to many up until her death.

A lifelong resident of Garrett Park, and parishioner of Holy Cross Church, Mairi was an avid walker, voracious reader, and intrepid traveler. Her travels are too many to list, but include Spain, Morocco, India, Egypt, Austria, Iceland, and of course, her dear Scotland. In addition to walking, she also enjoyed tennis and golf and the company of her adorable cats.

Mairi loved and was beloved by her family and is survived by Conor (Shara) Michael, Ryan and Catriona.

A Funeral Mass will be held on September 13, 2025, 2:00 PM at Holy Cross Church, located at 4950 Strathmore Ave, Garrett Park. A reception will follow in Lewis Hall.

May her memory bring comfort and peace to all who mourn her passing. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her name to Holy Cross Church, and that you consider contacting your representatives regarding pedestrian safety and victims' rights.
