Carol J. (Siecker) Morton, 83, of 686 Shelvey Summit Road, Kersey and formerly of Eatonville, WA, passed away Monday, January 30, 2023, at Penn Highlands Elk after a brief illness.

She was born March 31, 1939, in St. Marys, daughter of the late John and Salome Kraus Siecker.  She spent most of her youth in Elk County before moving to Nevada.  She married the late Frank Morton in Birdeye, NV and lived in Reno for nearly 50 years.  She then moved to Eatonville, WA and lived there for close to 20 years.

Carol is survived by her sister, Diana Beimel (Harold) of Kersey; her brother, Roger Siecker (Penny) of Reno, NV; two nieces: Kathy Downs and Debbie Vincent both of Washington; a nephew, RJ Siecker of Nevada; and by her adoring cat, Pretty Boy.

In addition to her husband and parents, Carol was preceded in death by her son, Thomas Morton.

Carol was artistic, creative, and enjoyed her natural surroundings.  She liked to paint and embroider, she would make the most lovely tablecloths.  She was a kind person, loved animals-especially her cat, and had a special love for her nieces and nephew.

There will be no services.

The family will have a private ceremony for Carol at a future date.

Memorials, if desired, may be made to the Elk County Humane Society, 1029 E. Eschbach Road, St. Marys, PA 15857.
