Anne M Hylland Morgan

Anne Mildred (Hylland) Morgan was born July 29, 1915 in Geddes, South Dakota to Andrew and Irene Hylland. She was raised with her three siblings, Oliver, Evelyn, and Francis. She spent the majority of her youth in South Dakota.

On February 22, 1936, Anne exchanged wedding vows with James L. Morgan in Tyndall Co., South Dakota. They were married by the Justic of the Peace. The couple had two children, Darrel and Sharon. The family moved to Oregon around 1939.

Anne worked for a short period of time in retail at Meier and Frank, but soon found her calling as a full-time homemaker.

When Anne and James retired, the couple spent some time living in Lincoln City. Anne loved the Oregon Coast. They also visited each US state, driving to the mainland states, and flying to Hawaii.

Throughout her life, Anne was involved in a number of different community organizations and fraternal lodges. She also found joy in oil painting and writing poetry. She enjoyed cooking, baking, and was known to engage the family in many Christmas Eve games.

Anne passed away December 15, 2011 in West Linn, Oregon. She was 96 years old. She is survived by her loving husband of over 75 years, James L. Morgan; son, Darrel Morgan; sister, Francis Jones; five grandchildren, and several great, and great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Sharon Morgan; brother, Oliver Hylland; sister, Evelyn Dahlman; granddaughter, Jaymie Morgan; and great-grandson, Jeromy Judd. She will be fondly remembered for her distinct laugh, quirky sense of humor, and a unique shriek she would let out when she was surprised or worried that her grandchildren were playing too far out in the ocean.

At Anne's request, no formal services will be held. Interment will be in Lincoln Memorial Park. The family suggests contributions to a charity of your choice in remembrance of Anne.
