August 11, 1987 – October 26, 2026
Vanessa Marie Morris, age 39 of Estill Springs, passed away on Monday, October 26, 2026, at her residence. She was born in Pasco, Washington, on August 11, 1987, to her mother, Nicole Marie Mitchell.
Vanessa previously worked as a forklift driver at Nissan Automotive and was currently enrolled at Love’s Beauty School in Manchester. In her down time, she enjoyed fishing, party planning, 4-wheeling, hiking, river rafting, driving anything fast, along with cookouts and bonfire nights with her family and friends that likely had 80’s Rock, ACDC, or Led Zeplin playing.
Vanessa also enjoyed raising her chickens and was also a talented writer and avid reader. Her favorite color was purple and loved purple irises and sunflowers. Vanessa was the life of the party, always smiling and joking, and would do anything she could to help her sisters and her friends.
Vanessa is preceded in death by her grandparents Roger and Carolyn Winch, Marvin and Arline Baker; uncle, Randy Winch; and nephew, Obediah Mayes.
Vanessa is survived by her children, Noah Knapper, Arabella Morris, Trystan Morris; parents, Nicole and Mark Baker; sisters, Nicole Sweiss, Victoria Mayes, Rachael Mitchell, Samantha Turner; godparents, Father Michael and Erica Murphey; and many nieces and nephews.
A private family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Haven of Hope in Manchester.
