Amos Woodrow Morgan, 78, passed away in his home
on January 26 after an extended battle with
cancer.
He grew up doing many things. Descended from
farmers, he learned what hard work meant at an
early age, he worked for a farmer and helped his
family make a living while farming and traveling
back and forth from Arkansas to California
picking fruit. Amos worked many jobs in his
lifetime; the job he most enjoyed was
flea-marketing.
He loved being out selling anything he could
find, from jewelry, cars and tools. If you
crossed his path you could bet you were going to
buy something at a good deal. When asked what
his profession was he would always respond with
“Jack of all trades, master of none.”
Amos met his wife Lorraine Morgan in 1984 in
California. After visiting family in Boundary
County, they fell in love with the natural
beauty of the area and moved here in 1991. In
their years together they raised several
children and grandchildren.
Amos enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, and
spending time with family and friends. He loved
having people around him. Every Thursday he
would attend Saters Auction, or, as he called
it, a social event. He liked to go whether or
not he bought anything, often just to say hi to
everyone.
Amos is preceded in death by his mother and
father, brother Earl Morgan, his beautiful
daughter Rita Victoroff, and many others that he
so loved.
He is survived by his loving wife, Lorraine
Morgan, brothers Hasten Morgan and James Morgan,
sister Barbara (Dean) Smith, and his children
Pamela Morgan, Melanie Redmill, Jonathan Wilson,
Christopher Morgan, Michelle (Phil) Ridley,
Cheryl (Jessie) Wright, Amanda (Ray) Thompson,
Angelina Morgan and Anthony Morgan. He is also
survived by many grandchildren, great
grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and those
that just knew him as “Pa.”
Amos will be deeply missed by everyone that knew
him in the community. He didn’t want any
services but wanted to thank everyone who came
and helped out through his passing. |
