Nora Jean “Jeanne” Morgan of Perrysburg Township went home to be with Jesus on November 15, 2019. “You
will show me the pathway to life, to abounding joy in your presence.” Psalms 16:11. Jeanne was born in
St. Mary’s, OH. on August 11, 1940 to Clarence and Tencie (Sawmiller) Chatfield. After attending Whitney
High School, she married the love of her life, Thomas “Tom” Morgan, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church on
January 25, 1958.
Tom and Jeanne went on to have two children, Todd Owen and Juli Kae. They were charter members of
Shepherd of the Valley where part of their family still attends today. Jeanne enjoyed teaching Sunday
School and participating in Glenwood’s Mother’s Club in Rossford. Tom encouraged her to do things she
enjoyed, including her time as a realtor. “Why work when you can have fun?” Working at local gift shops,
crafting, antiquing, traveling, music and spending time with friends and family filled her life with
joy. Her favorite vacation with Tom was a train trip through the Canadian Rockies.
Left to carry on her legacy of love are her daughter and son-in-law, Juli and John Steinmetz of
Perrysburg; granddaughter, Sara (Doug) Balsmeyer; and their children, Ezekiel, Micah and Tabitha of
Walbridge; granddaughter, Alexis Morgan (Frank Guccione) of Commerce City, CO.; grandson, Jonathon
Morgan (Kerrin Treas) of Monroe, MI.; and sister, Patsy (John) Lucas of Dungannon, VA. Jeanne was
preceded in death by her parents; sister, Rosemary Wells; her son, Todd O. Morgan; and her hubby of 59
years, Thomas Lee Morgan.
Friends will be received at Witzler Shank Funeral Home, 222 E. South Boundary St., Perrysburg, Ohio 43551
(419-874-3133) on Saturday, November 23, 2019 from 1:00 PM-4:00 PM with a Memorial Service at 4:00 PM.

you showed her will never be forgotten. “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”
