Julia Anna (Treon) Morgan, born in 1953 in Kettering, Ohio, died peacefully on April 16, 2026, in Lexington, Kentucky surrounded by her children. Julia is survived by her brother Chris; her children John, Zach, Sam, Mark, and Sara; and eight grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Lynn Morgan and her granddaughter Gwynyth Morgan. She was buried in a private ceremony on April 19, beside her husband John at the Hardy Bottom Cemetery in Leslie County, Kentucky.
After growing up in Kettering, Ohio, Julia obtained her bachelor’s degree and master’s in education at Georgetown College, where she and John met. John and Julia were married in 1976 and soon settled in Wi******er. She taught at Odell Gross Elementary in the 1980s. She left public education to homeschool her own children from 1988 to 2009, during which time she was active in her church and local homeschool support group.
Julia devoted her life to the care of her family, and took great pride in her children and grandchildren. She was a devoted follower of Jesus, and read her Bible through every year. Her favorite time each day was the quiet morning hour on her porch with coffee and the Bible. She was employed for the later part of her life at the Bluegrass Heritage Museum in Wi******er, where she welcomed local and out-of-town visitors, and cared for the legacy and history of Clark County and the old Guerrant Clinic buildings.
Julia’s friends all knew her as a sympathetic listener and a helping hand. Throughout her life she supported countless friends and family members through their time of need by cooking meals, cleaning, running errands, and serving as a birth doula and as a death doula.
A memorial gathering will be held at the Bluegrass Heritage Museum, 217 South Main Street, Wi******er, on June 7, 2:00-4:00 p.m. to remember her life. Friends are welcome.
