On December 1, 1982, Morgan Lynne Julian was born to Bobby Gene Julian and Cynthia Lynne Julian. Just a few years later she welcomed a brother, Bailey Gene Julian. Morgan grew up in Greenwood and attended Greenwood Public Schools, graduating from Van Buren High School.
After high school she married Justin Jordan with whom she had her daughters, Mia Jordan and Mallery Jordan. Morgan was an excellent mom and human being, she embodied the best of qualities of unconditional love, strength of spirt and an unending generosity that was seen so often in her care for family and friends. Morgan later married Anthony Heron and gained seven additional children that she immediately accepted unconditionally as her own, Sebastian Rivera, Donivan Heron, Cole Darter, Devin Heron, Dylan Heron, Kaitlyn Heron and Hayden Heron.
Morgan was a hard and dedicated employee working in the fast food industry in Sebastian and Crawford County.
