Kathryn (Katie Morgan) Morris
1989 - 2022
Kathryn (Katie Morgan) Morris departed this world in the early morning of August 18, 2022 at her home in Advance, NC. Born November 4, 1989 to John Morgan and Debbie Gleason in Los Angeles, CA, Katie spent most of her childhood in Richmond, VA before studying to be a nurse at University of Virginia (UVA). She practiced as an Oncology nurse at the University of Virginia and Novant in Charlotte, NC before moving to Wake Forest Baptist Health.
She is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Thomas and Verlie Morgan, and her maternal grandparents, Laurence and Joan Gleason.
She is survived by her husband, Seth Morris; her twin sons, Stanton and Louis; her parents John Morgan (Kay) and Debbie Gleason; her sisters Ashley Morgan (Adam), and Kerry Morgan (Jon); and a wild and wonderful web of extended family and friends.
In her final days, Katie remained tenacious, courageous, and found humor even in the darkest of times. To know her was to love her; the hole she leaves in this world cannot be filled.
A memorial service will be held at the Morris Residence in Advance, NC on October 15, 2022.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the National Brain Tumor Society or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Katie, we will forever love your warm smile and beautiful courage.
A very well rounded individual whom will be missed by many friends and family!!
From the whole Camp Family at Camp Holiday Trails, we will forever remember Katie as a family camper, a counselor, and later a member of our Med Team working alongside her mom.
Katie was the sweetest, kindest, most generous person I have ever known. Everyone loved her, and she brought joy to everyone she met. I will always love and remember you, Katie.
I think it goes without saying for anyone who knew Katie that she was the kindest, best person to call a friend. It should still be said because we have been lucky to have known her. We are fortunate to have spent so many influential moments of life with her and the rest of the CHT family. From diabetes jokes to late nights on the cabin porches. The world is darker without her. We do and will continue to cherish our memories with her.
Love, Harry and Alisha
The world has lost a beautiful human. I was blessed to know her.
I have been weeping all week. Katie had a smile unlike all others. May she be smiling from the heavens over Louis and Stanton.
It only took one convo and meeting in person to see Katie’s beautiful smile and to know she truly was a genuine loving kind human. My heart and all my love goes out to Seth, their boys, both families, and all Katie’s friends ❤️ The best words I know are found in this quote,
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” -Khalil Gibran
Rest In Peace Katie ❤️
Our loss is Heaven’s gain. Katie was an all around beautiful person. I am so sorry for your loss. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Katie’s light is gone way too soon. I had the privilege of meeting her through Chi Omega at UVA and was instantly won over by her infectious smile and intelligence. I am so, so sorry.
Katie, Katie, Katie…. you are missed more than words can say. I am so thankful for our last picnic at the winery and I am beyond blessed to have known you… Little things will happen, in the days since you have passed, and I cannot help but think maybe you are still here in spirit and messing with me (or us). I hope so because it makes me smile. I am so thankful that you left a part of yourself with us in those boys and I pray that Seth and your family are ok. Your positivity, spirit and infectious smile are treasured gifts that I am grateful for and hope that you can see how much you filled our lives with your love. xoxo my friend.

Kind, calm, positive, humble, great coworker. All this despite knowing what she was up against and whom she would leave behind. Truly heroic. R.I.P., Katie. And thank you for all the generous help you gave me.
Sending Katie, Kerry, and the entire Morgan family so much love. A beautiful person inside and out, Katie made all of us feel heard and safe. <3
Katie, you were such an awesome nurse & coworker! The way you cared for your patients is how people cared for you! My heart hurts for your husband, family, & most of all your boys! You gave the perfect gift to your family & your legacy will live on through them! Your strength was immeasurable! Rest in peace!💜
Sweet Katie, my little cousin. She was one of our members..one of our river family and loved deeply by each of us. I remember her as she grew from the loveliest child to a wonderful woman. She radiated kindness and love. I will always miss you.. living here on the river brings back so many memories of so many loved ones. You will always be a part of us and deeply missed.
I’m so sad to learn of Katie’s death. Katie was our part time nanny while she was a UVA nursing student. I had a memory pop up that 13 yrs ago we met and hired Katie to help care for our kids. Katie was such a bright, sweet soul. I will keep Seth and her boys in my prayers.
