CAROL ANN (LAPLANTE) MORGAN

December 14, 1940 – October 9, 2026

Carol Ann Morgan was born December 14, 1940, in Toledo, Ohio.  She grew up in Toledo and graduated from Central Catholic High School.

Carol married young and had two children, Kathleen in 1961 and Steven in 1962.  She later was married again in 1972 to Ronald Morgan and gained two daughters, Julie, born in 1957, and Jill, born in 1961.  They raised their 4 children together in Perrysburg, Ohio.

Carol loved to garden, play cards, do water aerobics, and travel.  She was a huge fan of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team.

Carol and Ron traveled the globe together. They traveled to Curacao (their honeymoon), China, South Africa, Japan, Europe (several times), and many other places.

Carol loved her friends and family and made a yearly trip back to Ohio to visit after moving to Garland, Texas, in 1988.

Carol and Ron spent a large part of their time in attending First United Methodist Church of Garland services and Sunday school. They spent many Sunday afternoon lunches with church friends, took trips together, and enjoyed going to dinner and playing cards.

In 2021, Carol moved to Friendswood, Texas to be closer to her daughter and receive some well deserved extra care.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Naomi (LaPlante) Bihl and Raymond LaPlante; her husband Ronald D. Morgan; her In-laws, Wendell and Edythe Morgan;  her step daughter Julie Hutchison and son-in-law, Gary Hutchison; sisters, Joanne Pawloski, Lois Tate, Nancy Gonia; and brother Phil LaPlante.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made out in Carol’s memory to the National Alzheimer’s Association.
