Obituary
Morley, Verlyn Lousie
Verlyn Louise Morley (nee Lenover) passed away peacefully on October 4, 2024, in her 95th year, held and surrounded by family at her home in London, Ontario.
Louise was predeceased by her beloved husband John (1989), parents Thaddeus and Edythe, brothers Robert (1995), William (1942), Donald (2012), and Delbert (2022), and sister Doreen (1933).
She is survived by David and Virginia Morley, Karen Schindler, her much adored grandsons Luke (Michelle), Jake (Alessia), Aidan (Isabelle), Owen, and Brennan, as well as many loved nieces and nephews.
Louise grew up in Chatham, Ontario and moved to London in 1948, graduating as a RN from Victoria Hospital in 1951. Louise worked as a nurse at Victoria Hospital and in social work at Children’s Aid, volunteered for many years for the CNIB, and rounded out her career in administration at OHIP. She married John Morley from Parkhill, Ontario in 1952 and they spent 36 cherished years together before his passing in 1989. He remained the love of her life. Louise’s world revolved around her family, her many circles of friends, especially her lifelong Victoria School of Nursing classmates, her extensive travels, and in her later years, her much anticipated weekly games of bridge.
Cremation has taken place. There will be a private family interment at St. Mary’s Brinsley Cemetery in Ailsa Craig, Ontario, and a celebration of life for family and friends will be held on Saturday, November 9, 2024, from 2:00 – 4:00 pm at the A. Millard George Funeral Home Reception Centre. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Louise’s name be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Louise Verlyn Morely, what a beautiful name. Evenly balanced yet surprising. I met you at poetry events Karen organized, launches and also readings. I appreciated your support of your daughter and enjoyed speaking with you. You were gracious and interesting. Thank you for knowing me, through Karen, and for your love and support of my dearest friend, Karen. The whole family, including those fine grandsons, will miss your presence around the dinner table, particularly this Thanksgiving, on the phone, and in their lives. My deepest sympathy to you all in your sorrow. Losing a mother and grandmother is a big deal.
Sincerely, Cornelia Hoogland, Hornby Island, British Columbia.
To David and Family, and to Karen Schindler –
My mother told me about Louise on Sunday. I am so sorry for your loss and I extend the deepest condolences from the entire Schindler family. I know she was much loved by all.
I will remember fondly how she was always so kind and gracious to us when we visited London for birthdays or holidays or special occasions. I am glad that Elfriede and I were able to have coffee and cake with her and Karen the last time we were in London and catch up.
I also remember that she was always kind enough to bake her special pecan pie for me when requested in advance of a holiday. And then she was kind enough to give me the recipe. I will always cherish that.
It was obvious that she loved and was so proud of you, Virginia, Karen, and all of her grandsons. She supported all by attending important functions. I know Jake really appreciated her attending all of his musicals and performances.
May she rest in peace after a long, happy and productive life.
It was a very sad day when I heard of Aunt Louise passing. She was very kind and had a gentle and calming nature. I wish I had visited her more often. My condolences to Karen, David and family. I know she will be missed by all. RIP Aunt Louise, you were a special person.
