Margaret Louise Morgan, 84, of Bushwood, MD, and formerly of Leonardtown, MD where she resided with her daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Bobby Guy, died April 9, 2011 in Calvert Memorial Hospital, Prince Frederick, MD surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 7, 1927 in Oakley, MD, she was the daughter of the late Joseph Ashby and Nellie Eleanor Farrell Quade.

She was the loving wife of the late James Roy Morgan, Sr. whom she married on October 19, 1944 in Morganza, MD, and preceded her in death on September 3, 1988.

Mrs. Morgan is survived by her children; Roy Morgan, Jr. (Barbara) of Clearwater, FL, Dennis Morgan (Sandy), Sandy Nelson (Donnie), and Stevie Morgan (Cindy) all of Mechanicsville, MD Gail White (Roger) of Abell, MD, Glenn Morgan of Bushwood, MD, Kathy Guy (Bobby) of Leonardtown, MD, Kevin Morgan of Chaptico, MD, eleven grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings; Alberta Farrell of Oakley, MD, Lawrence Quade of Charlotte Hall, MD, Bobby Quade, Jr. of Prince Frederick, MD, Theresa Gardiner, Aloysius Quade, and Sonny Quade all of Hughesville, MD.

She was preceded in death by her siblings Jimmy Quade, Nora Quade, and Mary Helen Morgan.

Mrs. Morgan graduated 8th grade at Sacred Heart Catholic School, Bushwood, MD. Margaret was a homemaker and a lifelong resident of St. Mary's County. She was a devoted wife to her beloved Roy for 44 years, loving mother, adored grandmother, treasured great grandmother, wonderful sister, and Aunt Margaret to many. Mrs. Morgan was a devout Catholic whose faith was evident in the way she lived her life. She was soft spoken, kindhearted, caring and gave generously of herself to those in need. She was an amazing cook and you could find her in the kitchen on Saturday afternoon preparing one of her many feasts. Family and friends would travel for miles just to eat the best fried chicken and homemade biscuits in southern Maryland, and there was always plenty for all.

She loved playing bingo or sitting down to an all night game of pitch. In the quiet times, she prayed the rosary, sat on her front porch waving a friendly hello, and worked in her "Search a Word" books. But what made her the happiest in this world and gave her the greatest joy was to be surrounded by her children and the family she loved so much, she cherished their visits. Mrs. Morgan lived to have a little one cradled and cooing in her arms and to get lots of hugs and kisses from her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She looked forward to the time spent with her sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews reminiscing about the "good ole days." Mrs. Morgan lived a long and good life. A golden heart has stopped beating. A beautiful soul will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM in the Mattingley-Gardiner Funeral Home where prayers will be recited at 7:00 PM.
