Georgia Ann Morgan, 78, of Williamsburg, passed peacefully on Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016.
She was born in Berea, Kentucky, and was a graduate of Stanford High School and St. Catharine College in Springfield, Kentucky.
Georgia and husband Donald raised their family in Moon, Virginia in Mathews County. She taught in the Mathews County Public Schools and was an active member and church organist for Salem United Methodist Church. After moving to Williamsburg she was involved in the ministries and Christian education at Wellspring United Methodist Church and worked at Fabrics Unique.

Georgia was predeceased by her parents, Lewis Gooch and Sarah Edith Crumbaker Gooch of Stanford, Kentucky; her husband of 56 years, Donald Banks Morgan of Moon and Williamsburg, and her daughter, Donnie Ann Morgan of Moon.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Christopher Morgan (Kathleen) of Toano, Virginia, and Steven Morgan (Doreen) of Roswell, Georgia; her beloved grandchildren, Philip, Rachel, Vivian, Gabriel, and Ezabella; her brother, William M. Gooch of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and son-in-law, C. Michael Gambone of Moon.
