Frances Morrissey, age 88, of Portland, Oregon passed away peacefully on August 17, 2021 surrounded by family.

Frances was born on June 17, 1933 to Howard and Ruby Wright in Phoenix Arizona. The family moved to Vanport, Oregon and Fran graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1948. Enlisting in the Navy, Frances was stationed at Bainbridge, MD, Jacksonville, FL and Memphis, TN.
