Margaret L. Morrison

On March 28, 2025, at the age of 88, our beloved mother, grand mother, great-grandmother and friend, Margaret Morrison became our Heavenly Angel.

Margaret was born from the union of Nabor and Trinidad Padilla on April 21, 1936. A native of New Mexico, she retired from the University of New Mexico, but never stopped serving others.

She is survived by her sister Sofia Sanchez. She was blessed and a blessing to six children. Charles (Corky) Dorsey, Bryan (Diana) Dorsey, Patricia (Ronald) Lowe, Jesse Morrison, Loretta (Rowland) McCoy Mark (Tanya) Morrison.

Her children gave her over fifteen grandchildren, and over twenty great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. The family tree is large and will continue growing. She had many close friends who are considered family, regardless of bloodline. We are all touched by her loving Spirit, and all have cherished memories of her kind, giving heart that can be an example of how to live our own lives.

Her life will be celebrated during a visitation at Strong Thorne Mortuary, located at 1100 Coal Ave SE, Albuquerque, NM, on April 3, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
