Shirley McCoig Morgan's Obituary
Shirley McCoig Morgan, 80, went to be with the lord on January 19th, 2025. She was born and raised in Mt Holly, North Carolina. She was an excellent student. After school, she began working in the retail grocery business. She steadily advanced her roles and responsibilities throughout her career. She worked in various capacities including manager of multiple departments and store manager. She then advanced to the role of field specialist and was ultimately promoted to the organization’s upper management team. She retired from Harris Teeter grocery after an over 30-year career.
She was an extraordinary woman who overcame the many of the challenges life had to offer. What was probably most remarkable was her ability to shine her light of love on those who she encountered. Always a wonderful caretaker, making sure everyone’s needs were attended to. She would be available at a moment’s notice to help care for family members, and friends alike.
She loved to travel and ventured to countless destinations, always seeking new experiences or reuniting with dear friends. Making memories and spreading her infectious joy along the way.
Throughout her life, she stood steadfast in her faith, drawing strength from her deep connection with Jesus. Her faith was not just a part of her life; it was the foundation upon which she built everything she did. With grace and humility, she lived out her beliefs, always seeking to uplift others, offer comfort, and share God’s love.
She was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, and friend. She will be missed dearly, and her memory will live on through her unwavering faith and kindness.
