Remembering Our Friend Alice
Alice Morrin worked on our Assignment Desk for 3 years. She would talk to people all over to set up stories for the Fox 61 News crews to cover. She talked to so many people over that time and we wanted to give people who may have been touched by her a place to share a memory.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Morrin Education Fund, c/o Rockville Bank, 1645 Ellington Rd, South Windsor, CT 06074, to help her 2 daughters.

Alice Morrin was hands down, one of the nicest people I have ever met. She was filled with smiles and optimism, the glass always half full. Alice was the designated newsroom "Mommy". When I first came to FOX61 back in October, I didn't have many friends and she took me under her wing. When I had a problem, I could go to Alice for advice. If I had a great day, I could go to Alice to share my joy and excitement. She was warm, funny, smart and caring. Alice touched everyone's heart in some way or another.

I have only been at the station for a couple of months, but Alice was the first person I met on my first day. I remember this because she made sure that I felt like part of the Fox61 team as soon as I walked in the door. She made certain that if anyone forgot about taking me out to go on a story that she wouldn't. I didn't have the privilege to work with her on a regular basis, but as I wrote to her in an email congratulating her on her promotion, she was very helpful and pleasant to have on the desk. In a business full of quick turnarounds, breaking news, and stress, I can honestly say when I think of Alice, I cannot remember a time when I didn't see her smiling. She will be missed. And my thoughts and prayers go out to her daughters and entire family including the ones at fox61.

Alice truly lit up the room. A newsroom can be a cynical place... but not when Alice was around. Every day she came in, she had a smile to share with everyone. She was genuinely interested in our lives and our experiences. I met Alice when I was pregnant-- a time filled with insecurity, I had no idea what kind of mother I would be. But Alice did what she did best-- she boosted my confidence by simply believing in me. My heart goes out to her family-- and I hope her daughters will always remember how much their mother loved them. More than anything else in the entire world.
The world could use more people like Alice. And we have all been blessed for having her in lives... however brief a time it was.

I fought back tears during the newscast today, as we all mourn the loss of our dear friend Alice Morrin. Alice had a gift. She could bring happiness into people's lives. Her warmth and sincerity will not be forgotten.
I learned so much from Alice. As our friendship grew, she and her family welcomed me into their home for Thanksgiving. She has the most loving family, who loved Alice dearly. Marilyn, her mother, with her disposable camera, was the sweetest lady I had ever met. Walter, her father, was a firecracker with a quick wit. Now, I see where Alice gets it.
She was never short of laughter or love. Alice taught me that a sense of humor is a valuable asset. Laugh at yourself. Laugh with others. Laugh often.
It was evident in the way she lived her life that she believed a little encouragement went a long way. And it did! Maybe it's only a few words or a small act of kindness, but that small effort can really encourage another person.
Alice got outside every day, whether it was with her kids or riding her bike. She knew miracles were waiting. She knew each new day was a gift from God, and how she lived her life was her gift to him.
She taught me that you can't control things that happen to you in life, but you can control how you react to what happens to you in life.
With my short time on earth with Alice, as our friendship grew, I learned that the people you care about most in life are taken from you much too soon. So I've learned you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
Alice Morrin was rich with every trait we admire in people. To those who knew her, she leaves behind a space, a presence that can never be filled. There will be less love, less laughter, and less joy.
Her death is beyond tragic. Our loss is unspeakably profound, but her shortened life is nothing short of love and happiness. Ask anyone who knew her. She touched all of our lives. We are all better people because of Alice Morrin. She was not only my colleague, but also my dear friend. She touched everyone here at FOX 61.
Alice will live on in the family that she raised, the friends that she loved, and the wonderful memories that she leaves behind.
I hope and pray that you remember this amazing woman's life, the genuine warmth she brought to all of us. If we can do that, the darkness of her passing will be overshadowed with the joy and light that was Alice Morrin.

I was really proud of volunteers and all the people of Vernon for this great event on Wed July 29.

what a horrible and tragic story. The poor kids.

Last summer our daughter went missing and Alice was the first among media to respond. She covered our story extensively and called/emailed me daily to see how we were holding up. Our daughter was found safe. I am eternally grateful. Our deepest sympathy to her daughters.
