Jacqueline Joyce Wilson Morgan, the mother of Belinda Morgan
Sheppard, Class of 1969, passed away in Florida at the age of 90. Belinda’s mom
spent most of her life in Monongah.
Jacqueline Joyce didn’t graduate from high school, leaving after
her junior year. Belinda’s father, the late Bill Morgan, attended Monongah High
for one year before switching to Farmington High.
In response to my request, Belinda replied:
“Mom siblings
are sister Jerry Wilson in Kinty who is deceased. Linda Wilson Rowand, Jean Wilson
Norton, Pat Wilson Vangilder, Robert Wilson (deceased). And Billy Wilson
(deceased). Mom’s first-born Jimmy is deceased.
“Mom had 5 grandchildren and 8 grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren.
“Mom worked at Westinghouse for short time.”
Belinda married George Sheppard, a former Marine, in 1969. They
have two daughters, Christy Sheppard Marecki and ShellyRay Banville and 8
grandchildren. Belinda lives in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Billie Lee Morgan, Jr., Rick Morgan and Jimmie Lee Morgan are
Belinda’s siblings.
The Morgan family lived on Walnut Street, where I was born in
Monongah in my grandparents’ house.
Linda Knobel-Carr, Class of 1967, and Belinda have been friends for
decades. Linda’s husband, the late Sanford Carr, brought Belinda and George to
the Thoburn playground for their first date. Linda was the matron of honor at
Belinda’s wedding. Belinda’s brother, Rick Morgan, was her ring-bearer.
Belinda worked for Amelia Shenasky Zentz, Class of 1938, and
husband Bruce Zentz, who built the Dairy Kone in Monongah in 1968, in the
1970s.
