Helen Elizabeth Morgan

Helen Elizabeth Morgan was born in Ft. Worth, Texas on December 19, 1937 to Ike and Gussie Morgan who predeceased her along with her baby brother, Joseph. Helen died on May 17, 2006. Helen's father worked for Texaco thus she attended many schools and made many lifelong friends. She graduated from San Marino High School California and returned to Austin to attend and graduate from The University of Texas with an elementary education degree. Helen taught in several school districts, but she taught for Austin Independent school District for over20 years, many of which were at Doss and Pillow. Helen made a difference in many young lives. Many past students continue to this day calling, visiting and sending cards. Helen adopted her daughter, Theresa Michelle, at the age of 8, and she was Helen's joy. Later she was blessed with a grandson, Chandler Isaac, who she adopted at the age of 4. Chandler made her life even happier and fulfilled. She was also blessed with a grandson, Charles Thomas (Chuck), who lives in North Carolina and is very special to all the family. Helen was a devoted member of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church. Her faith in God sustained her through her long and often painful illness. Friends were always so important to Helen. Thanks to all of you who have supported her throughout the years. We also thank Dr. Michael Shapiro and his associates for their wonderful care, the nurses and aides on Seton Central, 4th floor North and all the other doctors and nurses who went out of their way to make Helen's life blessed. A memorial service will be held at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, 8134 Mesa, Austin, Texas 78759 at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 20. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the St. Matthew's Memorial Garden which will be Helen's final resting place.
