Trish G. Morris, formerly Trish Gould MacHarg, passed peacefully into God’s arms on July 28, 2025.
Trish embraced life with an adventurous spirit, framed by the woods and lakes of the Green Mountains and Adirondacks. Knowing Trish meant knowing her contagious laughter and sense of humor. She found the most joy in her family and friends, and always her dogs. Trish put her heart and soul into the lives of many children and families in her VT community during her career as a Speech and Language Pathologist.
She was married to Kenneth G. MacHarg until his passing in 2019. Together, they raised two children: Graham MacHarg and wife Cayenne, and MacKenzie Seeley and husband J.P.
Trish later found love again and married David Morris, her devoted husband through this final journey. Trish cherished her stepson, Christopher Morris.
Trish was the beloved grandmother to Calvin, Ryan, Ethan, Wyatt and Louisa. They will always be thinking of their “Morp” when they are sledding, fishing, kayaking, or water-skiing. She is also survived by her two sisters: Sandi Moore and husband Frank, and Betsy Courtemanche and husband Ed, and many nieces and nephews.
Trish’s faith guided her life and gave her courage as she battled ALS.
The family invites all friends and family to celebrate her life with them at a later date, to be announced. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Addison County Home Health and Hospice in memory of Trish. The family is forever grateful for the support and love that ACHH provided while she was living with ALS.

I knew Trish for too short a time. But in that short time I came to know a brave and kind woman who thought of and served others before herself. Her attitude through her adversity is to be admired and emulated. She was a lovely person. May God bless her wonderful husband and family and give us all comfort in our loss.
Very very sorry, Mackenzie. Bless you,
JP, Wyatt, Louisa
and all of your family.
Light and love, Betsy and Jim

I have known Trish since we were very young adults. I had the pleasure of working closely with her for a long enough time to learn that she was very sharp, had a great work ethic, pleasant to all and not at all unattractive.
I observed her courtship with Ken, the birth and nurturing of her kids, the sadness of Ken’s premature passing and then the joy she had when David became part of her life.
Her diagnosis of ALS was devastating to me as I am certain it was to all who were familiar with the course of the disease. She has left a vacuum in the lives of those who knew her. It is also with sorrow that David has experienced now twice the pain, anguish and work in helping a loved one pass from this life. He should have peace for his dedication and love.
Thank you for your kind words.
