Marta Ines Morrison, 63, of Lowell, passed away Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at her home. She was born May 13, 1955 in Bogota, Colombia to Jose and Josefina Triana Parra.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Marta was a member of St. Vincent DePaul Catholic Church and was active with the NWA Activity Center in Rogers. She taught Spanish class, enjoyed playing pickle ball, hiking and bicycling. Marta loved fiercely, forgave selflessly and showed all those who surrounded her how special her light was.
She is survived by her husband, Gary Morrison of the home; a son, Nicolas Guerrero-Parra of Fayetteville; a daughter, Natalia Guerrero-Parra of Fayetteville; and two sisters, Myriam and Amalia Parra, both of Bogota, Colombia.

Funeral services will be 11:00 AM Tuesday, November 20, 2018 at Beard’s Chapel with Msgr David Lesieur officiating.
Interment will follow in the Fayetteville National Cemetery under the direction of Beard’s Chapel.
My prayers go out to family of Marta. I heard this some where and it stuck with me as I went through the loss of a loved one:
“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
May loving memories ease your loss and bring you comfort.
So very sorry for your loss, Marta was loved by everyone who knew her at the AWC and I will miss her.
Marta was an uplifting spirit to everyone she meet. Her laughter and great personality is missed everyday at pickle ball. May God grant comfort and peace to the family. Heaven now has another precious soul that will be missed here on earth. Till we meet again, Marta!!!
Marta was an incredible woman. She sat next to me in our French class at Adult Wellness Center. Uninhibted in her pursuit of learning new things. Willing to help anyone with humor, tenderness and kindness. She is a jewel and now she sparkles in heaven. My heart breaks for the loss of your lovely wife and mother. It is truly a tremendous loss. Talk to her in your prayers. She will let you know she is ok. God bless you all.
A Legacy is not the stuff you leave behind: It is the memories that are woven into the minds and lives of others.
Marta created such a positive legacy.
My sincerest condolences to Gary and family at this time of loss. May you all find comfort in knowing you will meet again in a much better place where there will be no more sickness and pain. Bless you all.
Please know that Marta’s influence, her love, her joy, her passion, her very being permeated many worlds. Her family and friends in Columbia as well as her family and friends in Arkansas are all better for having known Marta. May her light continue to bless and inspire us all.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for yall and keeping yall close to my heart during this time. Sending all my love to you and your family Natalia.
