Jackie S. Carter-Morrison, 87, passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones March 15, 2024 in Meeker, but was a long-term resident of Bethany, OK.

Jackie grew up in the Shawnee, OK area, met and married a handsome airman named Charles R. Carter on April 9, 1954 and after celebrating 50 years of a fruitful loving marriage, she was sadly widowed. She reunited and married a mutual old friend/neighbor/serviceman named Lowell (Tim) Morrison and they spent six happy years together until he passed.
