Laura Morgan

Laura (Biggers) Morgan, 85, of Katy, Texas, passed away peacefully in her sleep on November 8th, 2025, from natural causes.

Laura was born on October 7th, 1940, in Houston, Texas to Ross and Virginia Biggers. Growing up, she went to West University Elementary School, Pershing Middle School and, after graduating from Lamar High School in 1958, she attended the University of Houston earning a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in 1963.

As a member of the National Daughters of the American Revolution Society, she was actively involved throughout her young adult years, but continued to attend luncheons and meetings for many years.

Laura went on to open her own private school in which she taught elementary aged children. In 1968 she and Otto Bubeck began their marriage of twelve years and had three daughters: Beatrice "Ginny" (Bubeck), Cynthia (Whitehead), and Angela (Hanson).

In her 40s, she bravely returned to college and achieved her lifelong dream of entering a career in the Emergency Medical Services System. After completing the Emergency Medical Technician certification program, she continued her education and achieved the highest level of training in Advanced Life Support. One of her proudest

accomplishments, she graduated at the top of her class, and received a paramedic's license. Laura maintained her licensure for many years until she retired and moved to where she called, "heaven on earth," Nacogdoches, Texas.

Her plan to remain in Nacogdoches was tragically interrupted when her grandson, Sage became severely ill. She moved back to Houston and stayed by her daughter, Ginny's, and grandson Sage's side until he passed away at the age of nine. This had a profound effect on her desire to live in the country and she returned to Houston where she predominantly lived with her daughter, Cynthia, son in law, Jim, and granddaughter Hannah, for the remainder of her life.

A deeply patriotic person, Laura had a sincere respect and love for her country and its founding forefathers. She was a very talented writer and published several articles about politics and religion in her lifetime. She was an amazingly faithful Christian, and studied the Bible diligently. Laura's knowledge of Biblical scripture was awe inspiring. Although she sadly didn't live to see its completion, by the time she was in her early twenties, she had already begun writing a concordance of the Bible which she had continued to work on for most of her life.

Laura had a personality as vibrant as the colors she loved and was a self-professed "color addict". One of her

favorite hobbies was looking through magazines, cutting out and collecting the beautiful pictures she had carefully chosen. She enjoyed playing solitaire and often declared she was "either getting really good at it, or just had dumb luck."

Though Laura looked just as natural in a dress and heels, she preferred being barefoot and in blue jeans. Regardless of what she was wearing, she always carried herself with the dignity of a lady, but never shied away from hard work or getting dirty.

She cherished all animals but had a particular fondness for horses. She never turned a creature in need away, and cared for them with a gentle devotion which reflected her compassion for all living things.

Laura's fantastic sense of humor brought light into any room. She laughed easily, teased lovingly, and had a mischievous streak which made her unforgettable. She loved to intentionally combine sayings like, "There's plenty more fish in the woodpile," or "Look who's calling the kettle a rat" and "You can't teach an old horse how to be a dog"

As a mother, Laura would do anything for her children. She taught lessons which shaped character and spirit-lessons of resilience, faith, honesty, kindness, and the courage to be oneself.

Young at heart, she kept a childlike imagination alive throughout her life. She found wonder in simple things, dreaming big dreams, and reminding those around her to never lose their sense of play.

As a stage four cancer survivor, Laura was a passionate spokeswoman for laetrile and alternative treatment. She approached everything with determination and heart.

Whether returning to school in her forties, performing life-saving procedures on the side of the road, rescuing an animal, or working in a flower bed, she lived with a heart full of love, humor, and light. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched, the laughter she shared, and the invaluable lessons she passed on. Laura was a remarkable woman whose strength, warmth, and joyful spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

She was predeceased by her daughters; Ginny Bubeck, and Angela (Bubeck) Hanson; grandson, Sage Martin; sister, Martha Waggoner; parents, Ross and Virginia Biggers. She is survived by her daughter Cynthia (Bubeck) Whitehead; grandchildren, Jesse Tallyn, Jordan Stetzer, Hannah Wilkinson, Stephan Righetti and Lily Hanson; great-grandchildren, Braylin and Christian Thompson, and Elias Nichols, plus many nieces, nephews, cousins, and lifelong friends.

A graveside service will be held at Glenwood Cemetery on November 21st, 2025 at 3:30pm with Chaplain Daniel Schramm officiating.

Pallbearers will be James Whitehead, Tom Wilkinson, Jesse Tallyn, and David Hartung.

Flowers can be sent to Schmidt Funeral Home in Katy.

To honor her wishes, her daughter encourages attendees wear something colorful.
