Heaven has welcomed a generous loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather… Marloe Gerrard Morgan. Marloe passed away in his home, on February 16, 2021 surrounded by his family. He was 90 years old.
Marloe was born May 1, 1930 to Iris Bell and Mable Gerrard Morgan. He captivated the heart of Peggy Moss, while she was attending Granite High School, his alma mater. They were married on November 27, 1950 in the Salt Lake Temple and recently celebrated 70 wonderful years together.
He is survived by his wife, Peggy Marlene Moss Morgan; three children, Jeffrey Lynn Morgan (Marilee), Barbara Hegland (Lloyd), Janet Turley (Steven); nine grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren; sisters, Elaine Wilding (Wally), Janice Morgan, and brothers, Vernon Morgan (Carol), Keith Morgan (Kay). He is preceded in death by his son, Marloe David Morgan, his parents, and a sister, LaVell Bennion (Rex).
Marloe honored his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a firm testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ, the importance of building an eternal family and exemplified the characteristics of honesty and integrity. He considered his calling as a Sealer in the Salt Lake Temple, to be his crowning blessing. He cherished his time serving in the temple and helping others to “Come Unto Christ.”
Dad, Grandpa, Grandpa-Great leaves a legacy of hard work, faithful service in his church callings; honorable service to his fellowmen and country…all while never forgetting his top priority and devotion…his family. He thoroughly celebrated and enjoyed life with them.
The family wants to express gratitude to the CNS Home Health & Hospice group for their tender loving care in behalf of Marloe.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 20, 2021 in the Salt Lake Wilford Stake Center (3080 South Kenwood Street) at 11:00 am. Proper Protocol for Covid-19 restrictions will be followed.
The service will be broadcast via Zoom, as physical attendance will be limited to family only due to Covid restrictions.
