Christine Pogue Morgan

Mrs. Christine Pogue Morgan, age 95, formerly of Mt. Pleasant, passed away at NHC Hillview on Sunday, November 16, 2014.

Christine was born on July 25, 1919 in Hampshire, Tennessee to the late Bernard and Carrie Saunders Pogue. She grew up in what she called “the house on the hill” and always had fond memories of growing up in the Hampshire community. She was a graduate of Stephens School and Hampshire High School.

Mrs. Morgan was a wonderful mother to her three children. She enjoyed caring for her dog Topsy very much. She loved flower gardening, crocheting and quilting. She loved to travel and especially enjoyed shopping with her friends. She had made many friends in her life especially in her varied ways of earning money to support her family. In those positions she worked as a beautician, a private sitter, even working at NHC Hillview, where she eventually received care herself, and at Wright’s Pharmacy where she worked the soda pop counter. Her grand-daughters remember her wonderfully delicious chocolate and chess pies.

She was a long-time member of Beech Hill Church of Christ in Mt. Pleasant and loved her church family there very much.

Christine is survived by her beloved children: David (Betty) Morgan of Ashland City and Gayle (Jimmy) Attkisson of Mt. Pleasant; grandchildren: Jennifer (Keith) Throneberry, Julie (Guy) Odom and Shannon (Glenda) Davis all of Columbia, and Eric (Rachel) Davis of Las Vegas; great grandchildren: Matt Davis and B. J.
