Anna Louise Morgan

Anna Louise Morgan died on Sunday, February 11, 2018, in South Carolina. She was 81. Born on December 5, 1936, in Detroit, MI, Anna was the youngest daughter of Arthur and Gladys Copland. Mrs. Morgan graduated Immaculata in 1955. While attending the wedding of her brother Pat, Anna met the love of her life and married Richard D. Morgan on April 26, 1958. Anna and Richard were married 45 years before Richard died in June 2003. Anna and Richard lived in Arnold, MD, from 1976 until 1998, where they were active members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, St. Mary’s School, and Glen Oban. These were fantastic times for Anna, raising her three children and sharing time with lifelong friends in the Glen Oban community. Anna was a Eucharistic Minister and volunteered for too many charities to list. Anna always seemed to be the team mother for St. Mary’s lacrosse and football teams, doing whatever needed to be done to ensure “her boys” were well taken care of. From 1988 – 1991, Anna assumed that roll for the Cornell lacrosse team. Travelling to games with great friends, they didn't miss one in four years. Anna was extremely creative and a very talented artist. She handmade Christmas ornaments which were sold in stores from Annapolis to Hawaii, and she was a world class duck carver. If you lived in Annapolis during this time, you had one of her ornaments hanging on your Christmas tree. Anna also loved being on the water. Sailing, crabbing, or just cruising, we have wonderful memories of our parents on the Severn River. In 1998, Anna and Richard moved to the Easton Club in Easton, MD, and set up camp on Ninth Drive. They joined Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church and became very active in the community. There were many wonderful years of playing golf and enjoying life at the Easton Club. Anna was extremely generous with her time as a volunteer. Among other things, Anna was a Eucharistic Minister, member of the Women’s Guild, Prayer Shawl Ministry, worked with Hospice of the Chesapeake, St. Vincent De Paul, Easton Festival of Trees, Easton Healing Garden, Maritime Museum, and the Christmas Gala – if there was an event, you can bet Anna would be there with open arms and a smile using her talents to ensure its success. Anna “MiMi” was an integral part of her granddaughter, Danielle’s, life. She never missed Grandparent’s Day or any opportunity to spend time with her beloved granddaughter. MiMi was Danielle’s Confirmation Sponsor and has always been her role model. Anna was predeceased by her loving husband, Richard Morgan, and oldest son, Thomas Morgan. She is survived by her only daughter, Karen Morgan of Churchton, MD. Karen is married to Joe Yocum, and has one daughter, Danielle (20), who attends college full time in Maryland while working full time for the Department of Defense. Anna is also survived by her son, Tony Morgan of Easley, SC. Tony is married to Nori Nichols and they have four sons: JR (18), Harrison (16), Nicholas (14), and Tyler (11). JR attends Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, NC on a baseball scholarship. Anna Morgan never met a stranger. She had a warm smile and open arms for all of humanity. Anna was a devoted and loving wife to Richard and a mother to us all. A Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated for Anna L. Morgan at 12 Noon on March 1, 2018, at Old St. Joseph’s Catholic Church 13209 Church Ln, Cordova, MD 21625. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to help find a cure for Alzheimer’s at www.alz.org.
