Pam Morgan Cheered On

Pam Morgan passed on Saturday, July 9th, at UNC Chapel Hill Health Center. She fought the good fight but finally succumbed to complications following a double lung transplant performed last year.

Pam, Virginia Tech alumni and former cheerleader, served her beloved community as math teacher at Cape Lookout High School and math professor at Carteret Community College for many years, touching, and even changing the lives of many students and colleagues along the way.

A true animal lover, Pam was involved with feral cat neuter/spay efforts and has cared for countless otherwise unloved animals for years. As a result of her integral part of the Beaufort community, her beloved pets have already found ready and willing forever homes; she can now rest easily.

An inveterate beach and boat lover, Pam was a longtime member of the Beaufort Oars, a part of the Maritime Museum, that ran out of Gallants Channel. Her fellow oarsfolk and countless other friends will miss her feisty contributions to the community.

She is survived and will be sorely missed by her brother, Jay Morgan and wife Mary Jaye, of Roanoke, Virginia. She also leaves behind beloved nieces Mary Margaret Allen and Emily Janiece Morgan also of Virginia.  Finally, she leaves her close friend and cousin, Cathy Schneider of Charlotte, NC, and her many, many friends in Beaufort and Morehead City.

A celebration of her life, consisting of a flotilla of Beaufort Oars gigs, private boats, kayaks, paddle boards and other sundry crafts, will commence at Gallants Channel docks at 10:00this Saturday morning, July 16, with an “Oars water salute” salute in front of Duke labs around 10:15. It will culminate in a beach potluck picnic on Carrot Island. All are welcome – Pam was all about good food, good wine, and good friends.
