Joan worked many years as a secretary for the Kent Career Technical Center in Kent County, before retiring and making her way to Cadillac.  In earlier years, she would spend time knitting or singing in the Quartet.  She would often be found reading a good mystery novel or creating memories with her children and grandchildren.  Joan was a very kind and sweet person whom could always seem to find the good in anyone.  She would continually put the needs of others before her own.  She will be remembered for her faith and as a true matriarch with warm smile, who will be deeply missed by so many.

Morgan of Cadillac, Nancy Graham of Traverse City, Tammie (Dan) Bergers of Rockford, and Charles (Deb) Morgan of Negaunee; twelve grandchildren numerous great-grandchildren; many great-great-grandchildren; as well as many other loving family members and friends.  She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Richard L. Morgan; two daughters, Dianna O'Malley and Barbara Kuchta; an infant son, Joseph Morgan; her son-in-law Wayne; and granddaughter, Avery.
