Virginia Kay Morris, 72, of Mooresville, passed away at her home, June 15, 2025.
Kay was born on July 17, 1952, in Indianapolis to the late William and Irma (Dillon) Tansel.
On March 30, 1985, she married the love of her life, Richard “Rick” Morris.
Kay and Rick had one son, Richard Cody “R.C.” Morris (wife, Amanda), and a grandson, Trenton Michael Morris, all of Mooresville.
She was a graduate of Martinsville High School, class of 1970. Kay proceeded on to Beauty School, obtaining her beauty license. She worked for several years in Mooresville and Indianapolis, and eventually co-owned her own shop. She later worked at Monrovia and then Plainfield Dairyland locations until retirement.
Kay was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 103.
Kay loved her family and friends. She was a great cook. A specialty of hers was her fried green tomatoes and potato salad. She was known to accomplish many home projects on her own. Our Mother would say, “Where there is a will, there is Kay!”

Kay ~You will be missed, we thought we would have you longer. It is your absence that we miss you and our love for you is on our hearts for the time you were here for me and the times I was there for you, we had a long time together but it is not long enough. But God thought of you when he seen how you struggled and he knew you and he knew this would be your wish to see heaven and join heaven and not be alone as he promises a family homecoming for those who believe! Alot of memories!
Lov ya! Miss ya!
