Norma Burrell Morgan

Sister Norma M. Burrell Morgan was born to the late Reverend Harry and Mable Boutte Burrell on December 29, 1946, in Franklin, Louisiana. She was reared at the Katy Plantation and grew up in a Christian home. She was baptized at an early age by the late Reverend John Harris, Sr., at Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Katy.

On December 24, 1968, she was united in holy matrimony to Charles E. Morgan, Sr., and to this union three children were born: Chontel A. Morgan Lee, Charles E Morgan, Jr., and Chontrell A. Morgan Favors.

Norma served as a faithful member of the Triumph Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Reverend Walter Moore, the late Reverend Clarence Stewart, and the present Reverend Carl Lewis, Sr. She was a member of the adult choir, where she served as the president of the choir for a number of years. She was also a member of the pastor's aid. Norma loved to sing Zion songs.

Two of her favorite songs were "If You Just Hold Out Until Tomorrow"and let's not forget "Don't Call the Role." We can all imagine she is now singing in the heavenly choir.

On Saturday, October 23, 2021, at 9:30 AM, at her residence, Norma, a beloved wife, loving mother, caring grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend departed this life to go and live with God.
