She was loved by all her family and friends and will be greatly missed. She loved sewing, making quilts, dolls and baby blankets for those she loved. So quick to give, but worried that others would "disfurnish themselves" if they gave to her. She loved her Lord and with simple faith knew that all He allowed was good. The sad look in her eyes told more than words how much she missed Dad, her soul mate for 67 years, with a depth that only those that have been married for that long could understand. For all those years they enjoyed singing, playing and listening to Southern gospel and bluegrass music together and traveling to North Carolina to visit family and friends. Now they are together again with each other and the Lord in Heaven. Visitation will be at Seale Funeral Home, Livingston, Wednesday, Aug. 3, from 9 a.m. until funeral service in the chapel at noon, conducted by the Rev. Tim Norris. Burial will follow in Gateway Gardens Memorial Park, Livingston. She is survived by her daughter, Susan Annette Morgan; sons, James R. Morgan, Donald E. Morgan, Randall M. Morgan and Perry W. Morgan; sister, Winnie Yvonne Wilson; 11 grandchildren and 15 great- grandchildren. Preceded in death by her husband, James A. Morgan; parents, J.D. and Idell Hill; and sister, Lois Lucille Wilson. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude for the kindness and care given by Shelly Johnson, along with all the nurses and staff at Heritage Healthcare of Hammond. Thanks so much for the family atmosphere and the care that was shown with heartfelt sincerity.

"To Those I Love" When I am gone, just release me, let me go - so I can move into my afterglow. You mustn't tie me down with your tears; let's be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted with trust. Its only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home."
