Caroline Virginia Felton Morton passed away at home on January 29th, 2019. She was born November 8, 1928 in Havre Montana to William Pruden and Sally Borchardt Felton. She was their 9th child. She was raised in the Bears Paw Mountains and Chinook.

After high school she traveled to Great Falls to work, then on to Minneapolis and San Francisco. She returned to her parents' home in Woods Bay on Flathead Lake and met her future husband Don Morton. They married October 31, 1953, raising 3 children. While residing in the Bear Dance area she worked hard with Don to plant a cherry orchard in Woods Bay. In the early 1980s they moved to a new home at the orchard. They moved to Polson in 2003.

Caroline loved to fish and camp when younger. She loved her family and grandchildren. She loved her flowers, music, painting and swimming. The last few years she loved going to the pool with her friends, the Aqua Chicks.
