Mrs. Morgan passed away at her home on Friday, July 11, 2014. She was the daughter of Leroy and Estelle Tyner and was born on August 3, 1930.

Our mother was a member of many groups and organizations throughout her life in Meridian. What she will be remembered best for, as her friends can attest to, is her love of her Lord and Savior, and being a fierce prayer warrior. Even her great-grandchildren knew to call on “Mimi” when prayers were needed. That is her legacy. She taught Sunday school to young people for 25 years at First Baptist Church Meridian and co-taught adults at Highland Baptist Church Meridian. At 60 years old she began international lay mission work in Russia, Kagastan and the Ukraine. She spoke in many churches around the state about her mission work encouraging others to carry out “The Great Commission.”

She is survived by her daughters, Debbie Witherington of Clinton, and Lynne Compton and her husband, Robert of Meridian; son, Yates Morgan of Texarkana, Texas; grandchildren, Lori Sturgis Dodson and her husband, Patrick, Kathryn Monsour and her husband, Greg, Tyner Mikell and her husband, Jeremiah, Geron Morgan, Maj Morgan and Chad Morgan III; great-grandchildren, McCall Morgan and Miller Sturgis, Hays, Anniston and Stelynn Monsour, and Audrey Mikell; sister-in-law, Gayle Tyner; brothers, Fred Tyner and Larry Tyner and his wife, Charlotte; sister-in-law, Lena Morgan and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Chad Y. Morgan, Sr.; her parents, Leroy and Estelle Tyner; her brother, Jack Tyner and her sister-in-law, Ann Tyner.

The family requests memorials to be made to Blair Batson Children’s Hospital or Highland Baptist Church Building Fund.

Pallbearers will be Jeremiah Mikell, Greg Monsour, Patrick Dodson, Lee Tyner, John Williams, Robert Compton, Lewis Tyner, and Clyde Serton. Honorary pallbearers will be Richard James, Rex Allman, Trevor Tyner, Houston Pearce, Stephan Pearce and Morgan Sturgis.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to her caregivers, Darlene Gibbs, Teresa Gates, Juanita Newell and Lois Hudson and also to Hospice Compassus for the excellent care, love, and compassion they showed our mother, grandmother and sister.
