Salli Suzanne (Hiner) Morrill
April 3, 1949 – October 3, 2015
Salli Morrill, 66, of Kent, WA, left this earth on Saturday October 3, 2015 with her family by her side. Salli was the first of four children born to Roy and Shirley Hiner April 3, 1949 in Rome, NY. At an early age, she and her family moved to the Seattle area.
Salli attended Renton High School, class of 1967. She went on to beauty school, but quickly ended up in the hospitality industry for over 30 years as a waitress. She was a favorite to all of her customers, many who would come in on the days they knew she worked. Early in life she often held two or three jobs to provide for her family.
Salli enjoyed hosting her family and friends at her home on holidays and special occasions. She found comfort cooking for everyone in her fancy gourmet kitchen. She loved to read cookbooks, cooking magazines and watch the cooking channel. She had an amazing sense of humor and would always find ways to make people smile and laugh.
Some of Salli’s favorite pastimes were reading novels, playing bingo and watching sports, including NASCAR and Football. Salli was an avid Seahawk and Husky fan and went to many games. She was so proud to see two of her granddaughters attend the University of Washington. Salli really enjoyed spending time with her husband, Kent, at their second home on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Salli was pr?e?ceded in death by her father – Roy Hiner.
Salli is survived by her longtime partner and husband Kent Morrill, mother Shirley Hiner, son Dan Wall and his wife Cari Wall, son Tony Wall, daughter Richelle Wall, sisters Kathy Lombardi, Gina (Brian) Coughlin, Julie (Johnny) Birkland, 11 grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
Salli was the centerpiece of our family and will be incredibly missed.
