Georgia L. Morgan

Grace, grace, God?s amazing grace has safely called me home! Georgia L. Morgan, 91, of Johnson City, was called to Heaven early Sunday, August 30, 2015 in the Johnson City Medical Center. Georgia was a native of Stoney Creek, TN. She was a daughter of George Wiley and Annie Blevins Lowe. Georgia graduated from Science Hill High School in 1941. Her career was that of a homemaker, mother, and grandmother. Georgia was an avid reader, spending much time at the Johnson City Public Library. She had a talent for caring for her flowers. She was a member of the Presbyterian faith. She was an unmistakable beauty who swore by Noxzema, Aqua Net, and cod liver oil. She fiercely loved her family and spoke her mind freely and often. She was a masterful storyteller with perfectly coiffed hair just the right shade of Frisky Fawn and precocious, crystal blue eyes. She loved having her nails painted, visiting, and the Miss America Pageant. She loved ?those grandbabies' and sending them cards with McDonald?s gift cards tucked inside, always elegantly signed ?Grandmother Budgie'. May she now rest eternally with the Lord. Amen to a beautiful life! In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by: her former husband, James S. Morgan; son, James R. Morgan; brothers, James, Lonza, Dan, Eugene, Roby, and twin brothers, Thomas Selmer and William Delmer Lowe. Sisters preceding her in death are Ethel Sheets, Thelma Crocetta, and Bessie Peters. Survivors include three daughters, Kathy Morgan of Johnson City, Betsy Morgan Jernigan of Knoxville, and Robin Morgan Visser of Frederick, Maryland. Surviving grandchildren are Alison Poor (Joe) of Columbus, Ohio; Jonathan Visser (Lauren) of Carrollton, Virginia; Amy Visser Lee of Frederick, Maryland; Stephanie Jernigan of Knoxville; and Molly Jernigan of Paris, Kentucky. She is survived by seven great-grandchildren, Jackson, Spencer, and Scarlet Poor of Columbus, Ohio; Josie, Natalie, and Corbin Lee of Frederick, Maryland; and Cody Visser of Carrollton, Virginia. Other survivors include sister, Yvonne Lowe; special nieces, Teresa Smalling, Barbara Tucker, and Pat Lowe; and special friends, Sandy McClain, Karen Hale, Sharon Johnson, Wilma McClain, and Nina Bingham. The family of Georgia L. Morgan will receive friends from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm Friday, September 4, 2015 in Morris-Baker Funeral Home. Following the visitation, family and friends will proceed to Monte Vista Memorial Park for a 2:45 pm graveside service. Chaplain Ken Solly will officiate.
