Hayleigh Marissa Morrow, 27, passed away on the morning of February 7, 2023. Born in Portland, Maine on February 17, 1995, Hayleigh returned to her birth city as a young adult and continued to call it home throughout her life.
Hayleigh was raised in Saco, where she played softball, basketball, and field hockey, before discovering her life-long passion for theater. A naturally extroverted, creative, and passionate person, Hayleigh attended Thornton Academy, where she sang in the chorus and performed in the Drama Club. Many of Hayleigh’s closest friends were fellow members of the TA Drama Club, and she was extremely proud to serve as its President in her senior year. As an adult, Hayleigh’s passion for acting, writing, drawing, and photography continued to flourish. Her art was featured at Engine in Biddeford, as well as several stores and galleries in Portland, Maine. She thrived in the Portland Art scene where she made great friends who shared her passion and supported her throughout her life.
As one can see in her writing and art, Hayleigh had a beautiful sense of humor and a knack for silliness, but her love for family stands out as her strongest trait.
Hayleigh will be remembered for her beautiful smile and infectious laugh, which were often the catalyst of her friendships and the hallmark of her closest relationships.
Hayleigh is survived by her parents, Andrew & Jen Morrow; her mother, Emily Perry; her step-father, Bert Kiesow and his wife Jaime & their 3 children; her grandparents, Earl & Janet Morrow, Sheila Perry, Walter & Bea Kiesow; Alice & John Pare, and Elmer Dobson, her aunts and uncles, Cyndi & Chris Smith, Gina Perry, Joann & Matt Clemons; several cousins, and many more family members that loved and supported her throughout her life.
She is also survived by her brothers – Eben Kiesow, Chase Morrow and Perry Libby – who meant the world to her and will forever miss her dearly.
