Sydney and Scott put down roots in many locations including Reading, MA, Fleming Island, FL, and most recently Tenants Harbor, ME, with their home and life always being the center of the neighborhood, welcoming family and friends for holiday parties.

She is forever known for being gentle, sweet, and deeply caring. She is survived by her husband, Scott Morris of Tenants Harbor; her daughter Nicole and her husband Johnathan Carter of the Bahamas; her son, Robert Hart and his wife Erin Morris of NC; her sister Winnie and her husband John Murdock of Tenants Harbor; her brother, Paul and his wife Gay Nielson of CO.

  3. I’ll never forget Seka and I showing up to the Morris Halloween Gathering dressed as (male) contractors. Sydney answered the door and had no idea who we were. It was hilarious. (Scott has photographic evidence.) When Sydney came to work at Cannon- she became my “work mom”. She took care of me. She was such a nurturing soul. I’m so glad my daughter got the chance to meet her and see what a special person she was. Many thoughts and prayers to Scott, Rob, Nikki and the whole family.
