Mary Margaret Morgan, aged 86, died at home on Wednesday, February 19, 2025.

Margaret Morgan was born June 8, 1938, in Cary, NC. She attended Meredith College in

Raleigh, NC, initially studying music. Margaret was a gifted pianist and organist and she

played for many churches. However, following in the footsteps of her educator parents, the

late John Andrew Morgan, Sr., and Elsie Farthing Morgan, Margaret changed her studies to

English education.

Margaret started her teaching career in New York, teaching there for five years before

moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. She gained recognition as a talented English

high school teacher at both public and private schools. Included among them were Lake

Highlands High School, Hockaday Girls' School, and Roosevelt High School.

While teaching, Margaret continued her own education, completing many hours of doctoral

degree work. For many years, she served as Dean Assistant Principal at Thomas Jefferson

High School in Northwest Dallas before completing her calling as an educator as an

Elementary School Administrator at Urban Park Elementary. Margaret loved her students

and used an individualized approach to meeting their needs and helping them succeed.

Margaret is survived by her sister Elizabeth Anne Morgan Goforth and brother James

William Morgan (Carol Ingalls Morgan). Margaret did not have children of her own; however,

she loved her 4 nephews and 3 nieces as though they were hers - Eric Franklin Goforth,

John Andrew Morgan, III, David Morgan (Ann Marie), Michael Morgan (Suzanne), Vicki

Morgan Williams (Don), Karen Goforth Harbin (Chris), and Cathy Morgan Ottomanelli.

Margaret is survived by many grand nieces and nephews and great-grand nieces and

nephews. Margaret may have been an auntie, but to these loved ones, she was more like a

grandparent, visiting when she could, remembering birthdays, sending gifts from her

travels, and showing up for important events. She loved them and took great delight in

following their development and adventures.

Margaret is survived by her chosen adopted family – Joyce Cole, and Jordan, Alana and Roz

Harper, all of whom she cherished, and her dear friends Roney Foil and Irene Case, who

cared for her in times of crisis when family was too far away.

Margaret Morgan was a generous woman who loved to talk, loved to travel, and who deeply

loved her family. She will be missed.

Please leave the family condolences and share memories on this website.
