Freida Delora Morgan was born October 26, 1946 in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, the first child of Odell and Laneta Dolores Phelps Morgan. She was born with severe cerebral palsy and her parents were told she'd be lucky to survive to her teen years. With a lot of love and good care over the years she defied those odds and died in her sleep July 15, 2006 at Richland Life Care Center at age 59. She was cared for by her parents until she was a young teen, when she began to need more care than could be given in a home setting. She had been in several nursing facilities including Life Care where she had resided for the past several weeks. For several years prior to that she had lived in an apartment with a roommate cared for with love and devotion by the women from Walsh & Associates. They doted on her and even went to the extra effort involved in taking her out for various activities including trips to the Oregon coast and best of all, Disneyland, where she was awed to get to meet many of her favorite Disney characters. Freida was truly blessed by the special care from Dinai, Pam, Felicia, Stacy, Katy and others who were not just her caregivers but her extended family.

She is survived by her mother, Laneta Dolores Morgan, with whom she shared a special bond, brother Bob Morgan, nephew Mike Morgan, all of Benton City Washington; nephew Eric Morgan and wife April of Billings Montana and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Both sets of grandparents, her father Odell Morgan and several uncles preceded her in death.

Rest in peace sweet Freida. Although you never walked a step in your life, you walked into all our hearts.

Memorial services will be held at 2:00 PM Friday, July 28, 2006 at Einan’s Funeral Home, Richland.
