Remembering Varsenik “Vi” Morse

Age 93, Dearborn, Michigan

Always had an open-door policy

Varsenik “Vi” Morse was known to her family as “Ma,” “Grandma,” and “Grandma Great.” She had 12 kids, 37 grandchildren, 51 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. “Eventually we had to use a hall for our Christmas parties,” her granddaughter Lisa Rader says. Morse loved bowling and playing slots at the casino. She always had an open-door policy: “She took in so many people and family friends that didn’t have a place to stay, even though she already had a full house,” Rader says.
