Rose Morris Obituary

Morris, Rose Murielle
COLONIE - Rose Murielle Morris, 38, died the morning of August 17, 2025, after a brief illness.
Rose was born on February 4, 1987, in Gressier, Haiti. She was adopted by Jonathan and Sharon Morris, of Pittstown, N.Y., in 2004, and attended Tamarac High School.
Upon completing her education, she worked as a dietary aide at Troy Center for Rehab and Nursing. While working there and raising her three children, she also attended Maria College's Occupational Therapy program, graduating in May 2022.
Rose had a gentle soul, an infectious laugh, and a kind smile that exuded joyfulness and love. She learned how to perfect her egg fried rice recipe for her son, and she loved going apple picking and attending school events with all of her children. She enjoyed visits with her sister in N.Y.C., and All The Siblings' vacations on Lake Ontario, even braving a kayak ride in 2023. She also loved cooking, shopping, and interior design. More than anything else though, she selflessly loved her three children. She will be deeply missed by them and by the whole family.
She is survived by her children, Aiden, Aaliyah, and Ariana Galloway; their father, Fred Galloway; her parents, Jon and Sharon Morris; and her siblings, Julian Torres (Karen Marotz), and Sarah (Dan Cook), Nathan, Benzer ("Ben"), Andrew (Cady Garrity), and Elisabeth Morris; her niece and nephew, Amelia and Elliott Torres, as well as many loving aunts and cousins.
She was predeceased by her parents and grandmother in Haiti; her grandmother, Virginia Whitcomb; and her other grandparents, Anthony and Sheila Morris.
A private graveside service will be held for family and close friends.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Rose's memory to any charity of your preference.

My condolences and sympathy to the family! I do not know the family or Rose, but I was a foster (and adoptive) parent, and just wanted to send prayers to the entire family! Rose sounds like she was a special lady as well as valued education; and it´s very hard on any family to lose a loved one, but more so at such an age, it´s that much harder on all. Hoping that you all carry Rose forward in your hearts and memories of the special moments and love that was shared! Again, my sincere condolences and sympathy and prayers!

I'm so very, very sorry to hear this. Rose was a member of 1199 and that's how I knew her. She worked tirelessly to earn her education. My deepest condolences to her family, especially her children, whom she loved very much.
