Our precious loved one, Patricia Dianne Morrow, was born into eternal life on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, in the comfort of her home, surrounded by loving family and friends. She was 72 years young.

Pat was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri on January 1, 1953. She knew from early on she wanted to become a teacher. Teaching was her passion and over the course of her 38 ½ year career she has touched the lives and hearts of countless young students.

She married the love of her life, Joe Lynn Morrow, on December 27, 1981.

Pat is survived by her brother, Alan (Mary Ellen) Ladd of Ste. Genevieve, MO; sons, Jason Morrow of Kennett, MO, Dustin (Heather) Morrow of Bryant, AR, and Jordan (Crystal) Morrow of Reyno, AR; grandchildren, Staton Galloway, Cedric (Priscilla) Wilbourn, and Aaliyah Wilbourn, Aubrea, Aidan, and Ben Morrow, Sadie-Jo Morrow, Remington and Paxton Steele; great grandchildren, Bryson, Gracelyn, and Lakelyn Carter, Payton and Marley Wilbourn, Riley Wilbourn and TJ Coleman; nieces, Marian “Sissy” (Dicky) Reed, and Shawna (James) Radcliff; nephews, Stephen (Dana) Ladd, Blake Ladd, and Bryan (Katharine) Ladd, Greg (Erin) Ladd, and Brad (Rachel) Hagood, as well as numerous great nieces and nephews, cousins, and many dear friends and extended church family members.

Pat was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Joe Lynn Morrow; parents, Elmo and Dortha Mae (Halford) Ladd; sister, Betty Alice (Ladd) Hambrick; brothers, John Marion Ladd and Bill and Kay (Hambrick) Ladd; mother-in-law, Lovie Inez (Joe) Morrow; sister-in-law, Joyce (Dewayne) Hagood; daughter-in-law, Angela Morrow; and nephews, Michael Hambrick and Bart Ladd.

Miss Pat appreciated the simple pleasures of life; a comfortable home on Joy Street in Reyno, Arkansas, cooking and hosting big family gatherings, and worshiping in fellowship at the Old Reyno Free Will Baptist Church. Her true “happy place” was the backyard swimming pool where she spent summer vacations surrounded by her kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, and neighbors splashing around her in the sunshine. Her favorite attire was shorts and flip flops as she’d relax poolside, sipping a Dr. Pepper, and visiting with friends and family coming and going. Pat was always kind, giving, and caring. Her fun-loving nature and her warm, inviting smile had a way of making everyone feel special. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Visitation will be Saturday, January 3, 2026 from 10-11 AM at Old Reyno Free Will Baptist Church with a funeral service beginning at 11 AM with Ralph Morrow officiating. Burial will follow at Nelson Cemetery under direction of McNabb Funeral Home.

Pallbearers will be Bryan Hambrick, Brad Hagood, Bret Morrow, Bradley Morrow, Landon Lucas, and Drew Radcliff.

Honorary Pallbearers are Stephen Ladd, Blake Ladd, Bryan Ladd, Greg Ladd, and Cedric Wilbourn.
