OBITUARY
Brenda LeVaun Morgan
Brenda LaVaun (Lundblad) Morgan, age 57, completed her battle with cancer and passed from the cares of this world into the arms of her Lord and Saviour Jesus on Sunday morning, October 25, 2015. She peacefully passed away at her home in Lacey, Washington.
Brenda was born on April 15, 1958 in Olympia, Washington, the first child of R. Vaun and Mary F. (Chappell) Lundblad. She lived her entire life in the Olympia area. Brenda attended South Bay Elementary School, Chinook Middle School, North Thurston High School and Centralia College.
Brenda enjoyed change and variety in her working career. Her first job during high school was working for North Thurston School District as an office assistant in the District office. After high school she worked for the Olympia Credit Union Center as a loan officer. Brenda left the public workforce in 1987 to stay home with her children. She started an in-home day care and enjoyed being home with her own children and caring for the children of family friends and children of families that quickly became part of her family.
In 1995, Brenda returned to work outside the home, at Top Foods in West Olympia as a deli worker. She then worked for Mega Foods in Lacey as the deli manager. When the deli closed, Brenda was offered a position as a meat wrapper. When the Lacey Mega Foods closed, she accepted a transfer to the Tumwater Mega Foods. Her final position was working for QFC in Lacey where she ultimately retired in December of 2013.
Brenda gave her life to Jesus at a young age while attending Emanuel Baptist Church in Olympia. She met her husband Dan on her sixteenth birthday at the Olympia Nazarene Church. Brenda and Dan were married on May 18, 1979. She gained her greatest joy from her three children and five grandchildren. She enjoyed working with children as a Sunday school teacher, Girl Scout leader and baseball coach. Knowing that as her children grew, there would be a home in the neighborhood where kids naturally gathered, she endeavored to make that her home. She organized water fights, baked cookies and opened her home and heart to all the neighborhood kids.
Brenda learned to crochet from her Grandma Fern. She really did not care much for the craft, but enjoyed the time with her grandmother. Brenda ultimately became very talented and she crocheted countless baby blankets and booties for friends and family. Some of her greatest joy came as a result of giving baby blankets to new mothers. Brenda's blankets have become treasured keepsakes.
Brenda was diagnosed with cancer in 2003. During her long fight she was a shining example of her faith in Christ, never complaining and always uplifting others. She was known for always having a smile and showing her love for Jesus by example.
Brenda was preceded in death by her grandparents, Richard and Fern Lundblad. She is survived by her parents Vaun and Mary Lundblad, brother Mike (Carol) Lundblad, husband Daniel Morgan, children Steven (Heather) Morgan, Sylvia (James) McFarland and Shapel Morgan. Her grandchildren Isaac, Clay and Bryce Morgan, James "JD" and Kaitlynn McFarland. Her sisters-in-love Merrill "Meri" (James) Waterhouse and Eldeen (Lee) Gilbert, brother-in-love Doug (Candy) Morgan and many other extended family members residing in Minnesota and Oklahoma.
