Obituary for Joan Hoover Morgan

Joan Hoover Morgan was born June 26, 1931 in Lancaster, Pa. to Ruth Miller Hoover and Harold E. Hoover, the youngest of four children.
She married her high school sweetheart, Robert (Bob) Morgan, while he was in the U.S. Army, Oct. 5, 1951, and later joined him in Ft. Sill, Okla. while he served his country.
She was employed as an administrative clerk and bookkeeper throughout her life, and worked for a number of entities as they moved about when Bob’s career required it.
They returned to their home state of Pennsylvania after his release from the military, and after about six months, yearned for the Western part of the country they had grown to love, and moved to the Phoenix, Ariz. area in early 1953.
After their retirement, she and her husband took many detours while traveling across the country, where they would search out senior facilities in the area, and Bob, who was a keyboardist, would perform for the seniors living there, and she would engage the residents in conversation.
She, along with her husband, were active church members, and while Bob provided the music wherever needed, she was very active in the missions of the various churches they attended.
She is survived by her husband, Bob Morgan; a daughter, Michelle Goodman, of Parker, Ariz.; a son, R. (Judd) (Jan) Morgan of Payson; and Zane Scot Morgan (Michelle) of Peoria, Ariz.; four grandchildren, Miles and Taylor Goodman, of Parker, Corey and Logan Morgan of Payson; and one great-grandson, Joel Goodman.
A private family ceremony will be held at a future date, and in lieu of flowers, please donate to Payson’s Hospice Compassus.
