Rosamond Morton

Rosamond “Rosebud”, “Nana” Morton, age 98, a 72-year resident of Munson Township, passed peacefully on March 25, 2025, surrounded by her family.

She was born May 14, 1926, in Owensboro, Ky.

Rosebud was an executive secretary at TRW, Inc. for 26 years. Prior to that, she was a secretary at several other manufacturing companies.

Nana was an avid gardener. She could often be found in her garden caring for plants and enjoying the birds and wildlife. She was still pulling weeds while sitting in a chair up until last summer.

Nana enjoyed attending the Cleveland Jazz Festival and Cleveland Pops into her 90s and she also loved shopping and quiet evenings at home reading.

Rosebud was a true matriarch who leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter and unwavering strength. Family was the cornerstone of Nana’s life and she cherished every moment spent with those she loved. Nana had a gift for bringing joy to others, always sharing a joke, a warm smile or a moment of laughter with family and caregivers alike. Her kindness and humor created a home filled with warmth and love.

More than anything, Rosebud instilled in her family the importance of a positive attitude, encouraging them to face life’s challenges with grace and resilience.

She is survived by her sons, Craig A. (Bonnie) Morton, Bruce D. (Wendy) Morton and Brian D. Morton; daughter, Leslie (Richard) Nering; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many extended family, friends and neighbors.

Nana is preceded in death by her husband of 46 years, Walter M. Morton; and daughter-in-law, Ann “Anna” Morton.

Family and friends may call at Gattozzi and Son Funeral Home, 12524 Chillicothe Road, Chesterland, on Saturday, April 12, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., where a prayer service will follow at 1 p.m.
