Lorelei was born October 23, 1941, to Grover and Pauline Lindsey. She was an active member of Morgan Chapel Baptist Church for many years. In 1963, she received her B.S. degree in Business Education from Mississippi State University. While teaching at Sturgis Elementary School and raising her family, she completed both Masters and Specialist degrees in Elementary Education. Lorelei enjoyed visiting antique shops and working with her flowers. Most of all, she loved her family and grandchildren following them as they participated in various school activities. She instilled in her family the principle of dedication to family as she lovingly cared for her elderly parents for many years.
Lorelei is survived by her loving husband of 58 years Tommy Morgan and their daughters Lori Ann Morgan (Wayne) Carpenter and Tasha Morgan (Curt) Wiggins all of Sturgis. One of her greatest joys was being “Mam” to her grandchildren: Chloe Carpenter (Casey) Morgan, Cully Wiggins, Jack Wiggins, and Ella Wiggins. Lorelei was preceded in death by her parents and an infant brother Paul Lindsey.
Serving as pallbearers are Wayne Carpenter, Curt Wiggins, Cully Wiggins, Jack Wiggins, and Andrew Files. Memorials in honor of Lorelei may be given to Morgan Chapel Cemetery Fund, c/o Jackie Makamson, P. O. Box 157, Sturgis, MS 39769.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Everett McKibben, Vickers Personal Care Home, and Kindred Hospice for their excellent care of our mom. We would also like to thank our family, friends, and church family for their love, prayers, and support during this time.
