Doris Rose Morgan

Born in Johnston County in 1922, Doris attended Campbell College and was a 1948 graduate of Wake Forest College. In 1959, after serving as Minister of Education in two NC churches, she joined the NC Baptist State Convention in Raleigh. Her work training children’s ministry leaders, leading conferences, and organizing programs like the State Children’s Bible Drill, took her across the state for 28 years, retiring in 1985. Doris moved from her Raleigh home to the Brookridge Baptist Retirement Community in Winston-Salem, where she enjoyed re-connecting with past friends and meeting new ones.

Doris was predeceased by her parents, John Henry and Elsie Flowers Morgan; and her brothers and their wives, John Thomas Morgan (Annie), Henry Albert Morgan (Mildred), and William Greene Morgan (Peggy).

She is survived by ten nieces and nephews, including Becky King of Winston-Salem and Lisa Riddleberger of Greensboro, who have been her caretakers. She is also survived by 54 great-nieces and nephews and their children. Every July, the family gathers in Winston-Salem to celebrate the birthday of our beloved “Aunt Doris.”
