Agnes J. Morgan of Port Washington passed away Aug. 19, 2024, peacefully at High Point Residence (formerly Ellen’s Home) in Port Washington at the age of 92.   

Agnes was born Jan. 19, 1932, in Iron Mountain, Mich., to Agnes (LaLonde) and Alfred Murray.

She was united in marriage with Lloyd Morgan on Aug. 23, 1952, at St. Barbara’s Church in Vulcan, Mich. Lloyd and Agnes started their married life in Sheboygan, Wis., and in 1957 they moved their family to Port Washington, where they raised eight children.

Lloyd and Agnes loved to dance and belonged to the West Bend Dance Club. They also loved to travel and spend time with family and friends.

Lloyd preceded Agnes in death in 2010.

Agnes worked in the payroll department at Simplicity Manufacturing, retiring in 1994. She then went to work at Anchor Men’s Wear, where she enjoyed all the customers. She retired again when she was in  her 80s.   

She was a devoted member of St John XXIII Catholic Parish. Agnes was also a member of the Hawthorne Honeys, Port Washington Woman’s Club and the Christian Women at St Mary’s Parish.   

She loved playing cribbage, whether it was at the Senior Center or with a group at Lincoln Village or her grandson. She enjoyed watching the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers.

Above all, Agnes was proud of her large family, who will greatly miss her.
