Ray was born on September 21, 1942 in Adair County, Kentucky to the late J.E. "Ebb" Morrison and Vestora Baker Morrison. Ray was a 1963 graduate of Worsham College of Mortuary Science in Chicago, IL. He was a licensed embalmer and funeral director for almost 60 years and loved to serve people in their time of need. Ray was a former owner of Grissom-Maupin-Heskamp & Morrison Funeral Home and later worked for various funeral homes in the state.
