Wilma (Hansen) Morgan Obituary (2014)

Our cute little mother, Billie, returned home from a joyous reunion with her husband on the afternoon of Friday, July 11, 2014. She was born on January 6, 1939 in Acequia, Idaho to William Hans Hansen and Mabel Naomi Hansen. She was the youngest of 12 children and grew up working on her family’s farm in Idaho. She graduated from Minnico High School in 1957 and married Floyd Keith Morgan on July 21, 1959 in the Idaho Falls Temple. They had 9 children together that were Billie’s life and passion. Billie has been a lifelong active member in the LDS church and proudly magnified any calling that she had. She was a great dancer and loved singing, gardening, traveling, roller skating, and going to the movies. She was a big JAZZ fan and faithfully watched every broadcast game. Billie was an animal lover and had many beloved pets throughout her life. As a child her dreams included having her own zoo and being a stewardess. Billie and Floyd settled in Tooele in 1977 and they ran the Tooele Skate roller skating rink for many years. She is survived by 8 children: Joel K (Laurie Blackburn), Cindie Geneil (Dave Williams), Michelle Kristine (Roger Ekins), Krystal, Shauna, Lisa Maureen (Chris Angelos), Nikole Dawn (Joe Schiffman), Michael Floyd, 17 Grandchildren, 2 Great Grandchildren, and her sister: Ruth Louise Hansen McIntosh. She is preceded in death by her parents, 10 siblings, her husband, and her son, Ken Neil. It’s impossible to adequately portray the amount of love and selflessness she freely gave during her lifetime in a single paragraph. She was always thinking of others and putting her own needs last. Billie truly reflected the pure love of Christ, a more accepting and forgiving person, we’ve never met. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect mother and are privileged to be her children. Services will be held on Friday, July 18 with a private family viewing at 10:00 a.m. at Tate Mortuary in Tooele, followed by a graveside service at 11:00 a.m. at the Tooele City Cemetery.
