Obituary of Ava Beth Morse

Ava Beth Morse, 75, of Warfordsburg, PA, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

Born in Oklahoma City on November 22, 1949, Ava spent many years helping to build the family business before turning her focus to what mattered most—family. After her husband, Terry, suffered a stroke, she stepped up with quiet strength to become his full-time caretaker, all while remaining a devoted wife and mother.

Her proudest title was “Nana.” Her grandsons, Isaac and Owen Morse, quickly became the center of her world and her greatest joy. She cherished their company, watching them grow, hearing their laughter, and delighting in the small, everyday moments they shared.

Ava’s sharp wit and lively sense of humor were constants throughout her life. She had a gift for perfectly timed remarks that could make anyone laugh. Even in her final days, she found joy and humor in life’s little moments, showing that her spirited personality never faded.

She is survived by her husband, Terry Morse; her son, Travis Morse, and his fiancé, Anneve Waithe; her beloved grandsons, Isaac and Owen Morse; her faithful dog and companion, Macx; and her brother, Kevin Thompson. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sisters, Lynn English and Floye Patton.

Private family services and interment will be held. Arrangements by Moore, Snear, & Ruggiero Funeral Home.
