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 was a gem. She was one of those rare people in life that bring out the best in you. She had a smile that lit up the room and an encouraging word or two when needed. There are givers and takers in this world. She clearly was a giver....she was always ready to help. She exemplified what we all should strive to be: a hard working employee, a devoted mother, and a great friend to many. Alice, you didn't deserve what you got and words cannot begin to describe how terribly you will be missed. I will pray for your family and especially your daughters. Although cut far too short, I feel blessed to have known you.

I met Alice Nineteen months ago when I was hired For the Fox61 night news. On my first night, I walked through the backstage door and was greeted by a big warm smile. She made me feel welcomed and said she was there if I ever needed anything. Alice was always fun to talk with, I'm going to so miss you and miss seeing you at the snack machine.
-Craig Spinnato
I only had the chance to know Alice for about nine months, a sort of ironic time frame to spend with someone so naturally maternal. Even in leaving on my first day here, unsure of whether I was capable of handling my position, stressed out over whether or not I would really make a name for myself here; Alice, apparently noticing the worry in my face, introduced herself and told me not to worry, that I was doing a great job. And as simple a gesture as it was, that's all it took to calm me down, to ease all of my fears of the moment. That was Alice in a nutshell. She always knew what to say, and how to say it. She was always smiling, as everyone has rightfully pointed out, and no matter what my mood, in seeing her so bright and chipper, I couldn't help but smile myself. My heart goes out to her daughters, and all of the family she leaves behind. She will be deeply missed.

I only knew Alice for around 9 months, but in that short time, Alice made such a huge impact on my life. Whenever I was worried or stressed, she was there to listen and offer a kind word. Whenever something great happened to me at work, she was the first person I would seek out to tell. Every night before my shift ended, I would visit her on the assignment desk and she would always ask me about my day. Whenever I seemed down, she would say something so nice, so genuine, that whatever was bothering me, faded away. She was a friend to everyone who knew her and everyone who knew her, loved her. She was sweetest person I have ever met. I can truly say I am a better person for knowing her. Thank you for everything, Alice.

I wanted to pass along my condolences to you on the loss of Alice Morrin. Although I don't think I ever spoke to her, she seems to have been a lovely person and I'm sure you all will miss her terribly. It's terrible to lose a colleague and friend, particularly so suddenly. Hope your fond memories of her will be comforting in the days ahead. Susan Millerick

I was so sad to hear of Alice's passing earlier today. Wanted to send my condolences to your staff on behalf of me and my-coworkers here @ News 12 CT. It was a pleasure working with Alice and I know she'll be missed.
Best, Rocco Aloe
I cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear of the death of your colleague. Alice called here a few times and she struck me as an extremely bright and kind person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your staff.

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.
