Linda Anne Morgan

March 24, 1954 — November 5, 2024

Beaumont, Texas

Linda Anne Morgan (née Hortness) of Beaumont, Texas, passed away on November 5, 2024, at the age of 70. She will be remembered as a caring wife, mother, sister, friend, and cat lady.


Born on March 24, 1954, Linda grew up in Nederland, Texas, as the eldest daughter of Buck and Louise Hortness and the big sister to three siblings. Linda graduated from Lamar University with a degree in accounting and tallied up a 34-year career with the Texas State Comptroller’s Office.


Linda’s life changed when Ricky Morgan dropped to one knee in a mall parking lot to pop the question. The pair married in 1981 and went on to have two daughters and numerous pets — all her “babies.”


Linda never met a cat she didn’t adore or a wine glass she wouldn’t overfill with a sweet red. Her secret superpower was winning at casino penny slots, and if you needed to find her, you just had to look for the nearest Harry Potter movie marathon. Linda enjoyed cruises and traveling, making special tips to Hawaii, England, and New York City. At home, she spent many hours reading, cooking, watching TV, doing puzzles, and playing computer games. But she loved her family above all.


Linda is survived by her husband Ricky Morgan, her daughters Kim and Ashley Morgan, and her lone son BB (yes, he’s a cat) as well as her sisters Shirley Adams and Rhonda Reyes and her brother Bill Hortness.
