She was first elected to the legislature in a by-election on December 9, 1960, winning easy election in the rural, southern riding of Pembina. In the 1962 election, she defeated Liberal Charles Cousins by 211 votes. She won a greater margin victory in the 1966 election, and did not run in 1969. Morrison was never appointed to cabinet. She was one of only two women in the Manitoba legislature during the 1960s (the other being fellow Progressive Conservative Thelma Forbes), and only the fifth woman ever elected to the legislature.

She died in Manitou at age 92, after suffering from Alzheimer's in her old age. (en) |
