Ann Morrison Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Iliff-Ruggiero Funeral Home on Dec. 29, 2025.
Ann Jane Morrison, age 79 of Toms River, NJ passed away peacefully on December 25th. Ann was a beloved mother, grandmother and sister whose life was marked by love, compassion, and dedication to her family and friends. She leaves behind a legacy that will be cherished by all who knew her.

After graduating from Bloomfield College, Ann became a teacher and daycare center Director touching the lives of the countless children in her care and their families through her warmth and compassion. She later worked as a Chemical Sales Representative for BASF where she developed many lifelong friendships. It was during her time at BASF that she met Clint Smith, her longtime companion with whom she shared many years of love and partnership.

Above all, Ann was deeply devoted to her family. Her children always felt her love, encouragement, and guidance. She found her greatest joy in being a grandmother. She was often seen traveling great distances to attend her grandchildren's celebrations, activities and sporting events. Her presence at those moments was a constant reminder of her unwavering encouragement and pride.

Ann is predeceased by her parents, Raymond and Margaret Morrison, and her brother-in-law, Gary Samuels. She is survived by her son Andrew Schuddeboom and daughter-in-law Stacy Schuddeboom, and daughter Lauren Chodack; her cherished grandchildren Mia, Tyler, Madelyn, Gabriella, and Francesca; her brother Raymond Morrison and sister-in-law Jane Morrison, sister Alice Samuels; nephews James, Gordon, Leon and niece Fauve.

Ann will forever be remembered for her kindness, strength and the deep love she shared with her family and friends.

A private service will be held for the family.
