Rosanne A. (Faulkner) Morgan

ROSANNE A. MORGAN

      Rosanne A. Morgan, 88, of Canton, died peacefully at her home on November9, 2016.  She was born August 8, 1928 to John and Olive (Boughton) Faulkner.  She attended Canton area schools and graduated from Canton High School as a member of the Class of 1946.  She had a great love of music, and proudly played the bass drum in the high school marching band.  On September 18, 1946, Rosanne married Roland E. Morgan.   They shared 47 years of married life until his passing in 1994.  They raised four children and founded and operated the Pam-Lee Motel  & Restaurant for many years. Rosanne was a fabulous cook and baker.  She loved travel, golf, reading and Penn State football.  Rosanne worked as a secretary for the Canton Area School District for 33 years, with most of those years spent as secretary to the high school guidance  counselor. She was “Mom Morgan” to hundreds of students during those years- giving hugs, drying tears, buying lunches and giving advice.  She was a positive influence in so many lives.  In her later years health issues kept her mostly home bound.   However, she had a steady circle of friends from the high school and community who visited her regularly and kept her informed of the goings on in the area.    She treasured these visits because they meant that people hadn’t forgotten her.  Rosanne was a life member of  the Order of The Eastern Star and had served as Worthy Matron of the Canton chapter in 1968.  She was also a longtime member of the Canton Ecumenical Parish.

   Rosanne is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, Mitchell and Barbara Morgan of Turbotville, son-in-law Barry Snyder of Ann Arbor, Mi.,  Nettie Morgan of Williamsport, an “adopted” daughter and son-in-law, Roberta and jack Wood of Troy, eight grandchildren and their spouses; Clayton Snyder of Ann Arbor, Jamie and Mary Snyder of Lynnwood, WVA., Thomas and Heidi Morgan of Lancaster, Melissa and Daryl Machmer of Troy, Rhonda and Kenny Williams of Williamsport, Ryan Morgan of Mansfield, Juliana and Dan Mingle of Williamsport, Crispin Morgan of Turbotville, 16 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Roland, daughters Pamela A. Morgan and Leila C Snyder, son Thomas O. Morgan and her special feline friend, “Smokey.”

   Visitation will be Tuesday, November 15 from 6 to 8 PM and Wednesday, November 16 from 1 to 3 PM at the Canton Ecumenical Parish, 103 N. Center Street, Canton.   A celebration of Rosanne’s life  will begin at 3 PM with Pastor Jerry Schmidt officiating.   In lieu of flowers the family suggests that donations in Rosanne’s memory  be directed to the Green Free Library, 14 N. Center Street, Canton, Pa., 17724. (morseandkleesefuneralhome.com)
