Virginia Leora Schluneger Morgan

Born May 28, 1932

Called Home March 23, 2018

Virginia was born to Albert and Evalina Schluneger at Colfax, Washington in spring 1932, and raised on their Onecho farmstead in the company of her 6 siblings: Earl, Lester, John, Leona, Elmer and Edwin.

Her early years revolved around her love of the outdoors, farm animals, and her extended family. She was very active, loved riding horses, enjoyed playing with her siblings, and performed gymnastic stunts regularly. She attended school in the one room schoolhouse at Onecho until the eighth grade. After they moved to town in 1946, she met David Morgan, and determined early on that he was the one to build her life with.

David and Virginia were married September 15, 1951. They raised their 3 children – Alan, Gloria, and Cindy – on the family farm just down the road from the homestead Virginia grew up on. Virginia's skills as a caretaker, a truck driver, a chauffeur, a cook, a pickle-maker, a baker, a gardener, and a constant prayer warrior enriched her family. Her love increased as her children entered into lifelong marriages: Alan and Cathy Morgan residing on the Onecho family farm; Gloria and Roy Lord residing on the Morgan family farm; and Cindy and Ron Peterson residing in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Virginia's love of the outdoors continued to her last days. She maintained a vegetable garden, several flower pots, and spent hours watching the songbirds called to the carefully maintained feeders in her backyard. Her joy abounded as her family continued to grow while her children's marriages bore fruit.

She is survived by her husband of nearly 67 years, David, at their home on Manning Road, three children and their spouses, nine grandchildren (in order of birth: Justin, Rachel, Shannon, Shelby, Patrick, David, Courtney, Derek, and Dylan), and ten great-grandchildren, with number eleven coming soon (in order of birth: Mark, Matthew, Ashley, Beth, Kayla, Emma, Audrey, Azure, Annie, and Roahm), by her sister Leona Conrad and by her brother Edwin Schluneger.

Virginia was a lifelong member of the church now known as the Onecho Bible Church. A celebration of her life will be held there by her family and friends, on Thursday, March 29 ^th at 1:30 in the afternoon. Family and friends are welcome to attend the graveside beforehand at 1:00 pm at the Onecho Cemetery.
