Frances Morrison (nee Pusateri)

Morrison, Frances (nee Pusateri), 87, of Chesterfield passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones on November 4, 2026.

Fran was born in Chicago, Illinois and lived in Chesterfield for twenty-five years. She and her husband Cres moved throughout the United States during their marriage of over sixty years. Because of Fran’s curious, warm and welcoming personality, the friends she made during each move remained close to her throughout her life. She touched many lives with her generosity and love. She was a pioneer of balancing work and home-life. Fran enjoyed a variety of jobs (including study hall monitoring at a high school, selling high school rings and a retail merchandiser for General Mills) and managing the family home at the same time.

She and Cres spent years traveling the world, including visits to friends and family. She found joy in reading a good book, keeping up with the latest news and her weekly phone calls and video-chats with loved ones.

Fran was a loving mother, grandmother, aunt and cousin to many. She is survived by her children; Cynthia Morrison, Sandie (Tom) Conner, Doug (Lynda) Morrison and Ken Morrison, her grandchildren; Brian (Shelby), Matthew (Valentina), Jack, Ellie and Nick; and her great-grandchildren; Oaklin, Isla and Bennett.

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband Cres, her parents Salvatore Pusateri and Rose (Aftanas) Pusateri and her brother Sal Pusateri.

Services: A celebration of life mass will be held at St. Clare of Assisi in Ellisville, on Saturday, December 5, at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Alzheimer’s Association.

The world already feels a little dimmer without her. Fran will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
