As an athlete, she displayed not only skill and determination but also sportsmanship and the ability to lift the spirits of her teammates. Whether on the field or off, Morgan’s infectious personality made her a beloved figure among her peers. Her presence on and off the court or field was one that radiated warmth, and her teammates and coaches were grateful for her leadership and friendship.

Her teachers recall her as a hard-working, thoughtful, and respectful young woman who was always eager to learn and grow.
