Jessie Morgan Obituary
Jessie Arlene Legg Morgan
January 14, 1930 - August 27, 2021
Jessie Arlene Legg Morgan was born in Larned, Kansas. The youngest of six children of John H. Legg and Myrtle E. (Hohn). Early years raised in Western Kansas moving to Portland, Oregon in September of 1944.
Attended Girls Polytechnics High School graduating June 10, 1948 and two days later marrying her life-long love, Sherman Morgan.
They moved to Philomath, raising two daughters; attending and working in the Evangelical United Brethren Church (now the College United Methodist Church).
Traveling became their passion visiting 35 Countries, all 50 states and were making plans for more trips.
Jessie's death is not a bad thing in her eyes. Since Sherman's death in December 2011 she has been biding time just waiting until she is allowed to be joined with him again, and has made it known she has many question to talk about with Jesus.
She is preceded in death by her parents and all her siblings and of course her husband Sherman. His death on December 22, 2011 ended their lives together of 63 years, 6 months and 10 days but as far as Jessie is concerned she was still married "Til the End of Time".
She is survived by daughter Sherlene and husband, Ron Watkins, of Mulberry, Arizona; daughter Donna and husband, Tim Webster; granddaughter, Stacey, and husband, James; and great-granddaughters Cambria and Katelyn Braudrick, all of Philomath.
There will be a video memorial for Jessie immediately after worship on Sunday, September 12th on

Sorry to just hear of Jessie's death. What a lovely lady! I will never forget how wonderful she was to my step-mother, Pearle, once married to Jessie's devoted brother. And how Jessie welcomed my father, Fred Lemke, when he married Pearle after Jessie's brother died. Jessie was such a pleasant and positive person. I am blessed to have known her!

I am Sherman's cousin, Freida Morgan Brown. My father, Fred Morgan, was the brother just older than Sherman's father, John Sherman (affectionately known as Big John) in a family of 7 boys. Sherman served as a groomsman in my wedding there in 1958, and Sherlene was a candle lighter. The family has my condolences and prayers. Sherman and Jessie were a wonderful Christian couple who meant much in the hearts of many. Sherman introduced me to my then future husband, Ben Brown, and we were married for 58 years until he passed away in 2017. May God bless you all!
