Janelee Morger, of New Braunfels, Texas left this earth on Saturday, August 4, 2018 at the age of 75 after a prolonged battle with various health issues. Janelee was born on October 29, 1942, in New Braunfels, Texas to James and Natalia Sanders. Janelee was the 5th of 6 children. She married her husband Jimmie on January 27, 1962. They enjoyed traveling together. They visited exotic locales such as Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Virginia, Main, California and Mexico. Janelee worked diligently to care for her community and her family, much of this time dedicated to the United States Postal Service. She and her husband created five children and opened their hearts and homes to many more along the way, holding to the belief that everyone deserved a fighting chance at this life. Janelee’s favorite pastimes included reading, sewing, rousing if not irreverent conversations, Bingo and shopping by catalogue. It was rare to visit her without leaving with some tidbit she purchased with the visitor in mind. She gave and received much love on this earth and has moved on to her next great adventure.
