In the early morning hours of Sunday, July 7, 2024, Patti Karen Morgan broke free of
the bonds of this mortal body and passed into the presence of our waiting Lord Jesus.
She is no longer suffering from the ravages of a rare and aggressive cancer that she
fought so valiantly this past year. She spent her last year surrounded and cared for by
her loving family and with her cherished pup, Schatzi, in Austin, Texas. Patti’s charm
and beautiful smile won her friends of all ages. While volunteering at an assisted living
facility, she befriended a WW 2 veteran, and their friendship became a light in both of
their lives. She had a special connection to the senior population and built meaningful
relationships with many in her church. But she was also loved dearly by her nieces and
nephews, who always considered her the “fun” aunt. She had true friends in the
different cities where she lived over the course of her life with whom she stayed
connected.
Patti, also known as PK, was born on September 15, 1963, the baby of a large brood,
and was treated accordingly. She was pre-deceased by her father Tom Morgan and
mother Selma (Lorain) Morgan, and brother Roy Melton. She leaves a brother, Tom E.
Morgan, 3 sisters; Debbie Morgan, Diana Braddock and husband Roger Braddock, and
Kathy Currie and husband Joe Currie to grieve her too early departure from them. She
also leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles who loved her,
particularly Kathryn and Joe Morgan Currie who helped greatly with her comfort and
care this past year.
Patti loved music and had a beautiful singing voice. She wrote many songs of praise.
She also enjoyed the ocean and art shows and was a real clotheshorse. But she was a
savvy shopper and took pride in her bargains!
She had quite a green thumb and grew beautiful flowers in her yard- which is no small
feat in Texas! Patti endured more than her share of hardships, but she held tight to her
faith and trusted God to walk with her through her valleys – and He did. She will be laid
to rest at the family farm in the boothill of Missouri where she lived as a child. She was
loved greatly and will be greatly missed.
