Nancy Beverly Morgan

While we are saddened by her loss, we are comforted with memories of her long incredible life. Nancy grew up in Georgia and Tennessee, and lived most of her adult life in St. Louis Missouri and Arlington Virginia. Nancy earned a bachelor's and master’s degree in Computer Science. Professionally, she worked in the computer industry for more than 30 years eventually owning her own consulting business and blazing a trail for women to follow. Nancy was an early advocate of helping more women enter the field of computing. She was also dedicated to uplifting women in engineering and served as state President of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) traveling throughout the state of Virginia advocating for women.

As a young woman, Nancy was a talented seamstress who made many of her own clothes and had a knack for needlepoint. Over the years, Nancy became an avid photographer with a talent for nature photos and she exhibited her work at local photography shows. She was a master genealogist who traced her family ancestry back hundreds of years. She enjoyed cooking and published soup supper cookbooks. She took up running in her 40s and won several road races in her age groups. Nancy loved everything about England and made almost annual trips with a particular love of the Lake District.

Nancy is survived by her husband of 63 years Robert Morgan, her son Jonathan and his wife Lorrie, grandsons Nicholas and Christopher, and many other family and friends. She was predeceased by son Thomas.

A memorial service for Nancy will be held Saturday, January 29, 2022 at 2:00 PM at Murphy Funeral Homes, 4510 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22203. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s foundation.
