Anna Mary (Ann) Harr Morgan embarked on her final journey January 29, 2023. She spent most of her life traveling the world as promised by her husband of 69 years, David Ernest Morgan, Jr., when she agreed to marry him in 1948. Ann was born to Anna Mary Higham Harr and William Dewey Harr on September 10, 1923 in a suburb of Pittburgh, Pennsylvania. Her childhood involved many adventures on street cars and train trips, such as to her grandparents and aunt’s farm near Franconia, Virginia. She was the first in her family to go to university, and was proud of her work in the history department of the University of Pittsburgh. She loved to tell the story of connecting with her high school acquaintance, Davy Morgan, when handing out class cards. Her office in the Cathedral of Learning became their courtship connection. Ann followed David to his Air Force posting in Orlando, Florida where they married on January 20, 1948. Many military and civil service travels followed, including to MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida; Austin, Texas where their first daughter Becky was born; Japan, where their only son Pat arrived; Tennessee; Okinawa, and the completion of the family with tag-along Kathy; Hampton, Virginia; back to MacDill; Annandale, Virginia in the DC area; Venice, Florida; Ogden, Utah; Pineville, Louisiana; Brampton, England; Sembach, Germany; and Eglin AFB in the Florida panhandle, where they retired in Navarre. In Navarre, they enjoyed all the times that various grandchildren and other family visited to hang out on the white sand beaches. Despite Ann’s love of the beach, other travel opportunities were eagerly sought. Her grandchildren provided many events, such as graduation from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, weddings in Colorado and upstate New York, births and a grandson posting in Germany, grandson in Phoenix, births and graduations in North Carolina, visits to family in Texas, Virginia, California, and the Pittsburgh area; and a never-to-be forgotten 50th anniversary cruise through the Panama Canal. Later in life they moved to Tallahassee, Florida where their oldest daughter had settled and their oldest grandchild was born. In addition to traveling, Ann kept up with the times in the form of working with digital photography and card creation on her computer, Kindle reading, and keeping up with her far-flung network of family and friends via email, social media, and video calls. Hobbies of knitting, sewing, books, and collecting also filled her time and gave others many products to enjoy. Ann is survived by her three children Rebecca Lee (Becky) Morgan Lyons, Pat David Morgan (Lou Ann Roderick), and Kathy Anne Morgan Glasson. She is survived by one sibling, Dorothy Jean Harr Brunauer, and one sister-in-law, Marian Morgan Funk. In addition to her husband, David, she is predeceased by her parents and two siblings, William Dewey Harr, Jr. and Virginia Louise (Bunny) Harr Shepherd. She leaves a clan of ten grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins and friends. The grandchildren and their families are John Wendell Lyons III (Cynthia Guiritan, son Liam Guiritan), David Edward Morgan (Jessica Anne Presse, sons Lukas David and Caleb Ryan, daughter Kathryn Anne), Michael Ryan Morgan (Jessica Anne Smith, daughters Leah Abigail and Miranda Lily, son Elijah Kerwyn), William James Morgan, Rachel Ann Morgan Doyle (the late Justin Patrick, daughter Minerva Ann), Elisabeth Rose Morgan Waterman (Ryan Patrick Douglas), Nathanael Roderick Morgan (Kathleen Elisabeth Sotelo, son Marcus Roderick, daughter Audrey Elisabeth), Joshua Lively Glasson, Timothy Collins Glasson, and Corey William Glasson (Samantha Faith Flugrad). The family will be receiving guests for a visitation at Bevis Funeral Home on Thursday, February 2, 2023 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. with a committal service to follow at Tallahassee National Cemetery at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the American Heart Association are encouraged: www.heart.org Breanna Green of Bevis Funeral Home (850-385-2193 or www.bevisfh.com) is assisting the family with their arrangements.
