Barbara Jean (Jones) Morgan was born in 1933 in La Junta, CO, to Oscar and Alta Jones. She had three siblings, Keith, Bill, and Betty. Barbara attended school in Dixie, Washington, graduating from Walla Walla High School in 1951. In 1952 she married the love of her life, Edwin Morgan. Immediately after their wedding, Barbara returned to nursing school in Walla Walla and Ed entered the Navy in San Diego.

Between 1953 and 1965 they welcomed children Ed, Carole, Phillip, Mike, and Beth. As Ed related, he was proudest of Barbara for holding down the home front. He said while he was in the Navy and completing his education, Barbara was the bedrock of their family. She was the quintessential working mom, raising five children, and advancing in her nursing career.

She was an accomplished professional, but was most proud of her role as a wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time in the outdoors with her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She had a killer sense of humor, and found the fun in everything. She found the opportunity in every obstacle and looked for the good in others. She championed the underdog and made people from all walks of life feel valued and respected.

She is survived by her loving husband of 72 years, Ed, as well as her 5 children and their spouses, 18 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.

We miss you, Mom, but we know you are at home with our Savior Jesus Christ.
