Jean Crook Morris
Jean Crook Morris passed away peacefully at her home in Kamas, Utah, on December 28, 2022. She lived seventy-nine beautiful years surrounded by her family and friends. Jean was born in Heber City, Utah, on March 17, 1943. She married her best friend, Larry Morris, soon after graduating high school. Jean and Larry were married for 61 beautiful years.
Jean was always up for any adventure with Larry. They enjoyed the great outdoors by camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, taking road trips, or simply admiring the view from their deck in Kamas. They also loved to experience the incredible Alaskan beauty from the deck of a cruise ship.
Jean was a loving mother who was always there for her children’s ball games, graduations, and dance recitals. Later she attended the birth of every grandchild and great-grandchild, at times wearing a t-shirt inscribed with the phrase “I’m the Grandma!” She supported them in many of their adventures and achievements. What a fun and supportive “Nana” she was!

Jean was known for her unconditional love of family and friends. She was generous with her love and support. She dedicated many years to mentoring young women through girls’ camps. Teaching young women outdoor skills and helping them to navigate their teen years was a skill she excelled at. She also taught primary and loved working in the nursery with the children.
Jean always made everyone feel welcome in her home. She welcomed the neighbor kids into her home, and to some, she was called a “second mom.” She liked to laugh, teach kids, tease, and hug. She helped everyone enjoy life, even leaving us all laughing at our final Christmas party a few days before her passing.
The annual Crook Family Reunion was a highlight for Jean every year, where she could gather with her family and help with all the activities for the kids. The laughter, pranks, entertainment, and good food and love brought the family even closer each year. Nothing was more important to Nana than her family.
Jean is survived by her husband Larry and three children – Lorie, Shawna, and Jay, and siblings – Barbara (Biff), Ralph (Diane), Dave (Vickie), and Brian (Jeri). She is now reunited in heaven with parents Harvey and Beth Crook, sister Karlyn, and brother-in-law Roy.
For family and friends, a graveside service will be on Thursday, Jan 5, 2023, at noon at the Heber City Cemetery. After the graveside service, the family will meet at Don Pedro’s Family Mexican Restaurant in Heber.
A celebration of her life will take place in the springtime when we can all gather outside and celebrate Jean Morris –the loving and caring mother, wife, sister, and friend to all.
