Wendy Morris

Wendy M. (Diogo) Morris, age 39, of New Bedford, passed away, after a long battle with cancer on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 at home surrounded by her loving family. She was the loving wife of Michael Morris, with whom she would’ve celebrated 18 years of marriage with in November.

Born in New Bedford, she was the daughter of Antonio “Tony” and Susan (Stawasz) Diogo of Westport.

A graduate of Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School, Class of 1999, Wendy earned her associate degree in childcare at Bristol Community College in 2002 and worked as a certified nursing assistant in the area for several years.

A natural caregiver, Wendy enjoyed caring for her patients and people in general but her most important role was a loving mother to her four children, which she considered to be her best achievement. Family was very important to her.

In addition to her loving husband and parents survivors include: four children, William, Lillian, Matthew and Charlotte; her mother-in-law, Diane Morris and her husband Roland Farland of New Bedford; her brother, Jeff W. Diogo of Westport; sister-in-law, Jennifer Pereira and her husband Jeffrey of New Hampshire; her uncle, Stan Stawasz of New Bedford; very close friends, Trent and Jessica Roderick and Joseph and Tracy Tavares; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

She was predeceased by her father-in-law, Joseph Morris, paternal grandparents, Antonio and Maria Diogo and maternal grandparents, William and Loretta Stawasz.

Due to current restrictions a celebration of life will be held at a later time.
