Presley Ann Morgan was born stubbornly on June 6, 2015 to her parents, Jesse and Sarah Morgan. The stubbornness never went away, even as she passed from this life into the arms of Jesus on July 15, 2017. Everything she did always had a little extra sass mixed in, whether it was watching her favorite movie, Finding Dory, or helping her Papa feed the real “ish”. It was all done on Presley’s time in Presley’s way. If she wasn’t doing something fish related you better believe either balloons or bubbles were involved. She was a fun-loving adventurous two-year-old who had really begun to show her affection of animals. She loved to meow at the neighborhood cats and loved to water her cousin’s horse, Payday. She loved animals. The only thing she loved more than any of the above was her new little brother, Hayden. She wasn’t real sure of him and didn’t really want to hold him, but at every whimper or cry she was right there to check on him. She brought joy into the hearts of anyone she met and she was overflowing with happiness. Presley Ann and all of her sass will be greatly missed by all.
Presley is the first to meet her older sibling and four cousins. We have no doubt they are all laughing and playing together in Heaven and eating Twinkies with her Grandpa Dave Jones and her Papa John Genitski. She is survived by her parents and brother, Hayden, of the home, maternal grandparents, Virginia Jones of Clovis, David and Janice Stroud of Hobbs, paternal grandparents, Brad and Shelly Morgan of Portales, Great grandparents Hillrey and Nancy Beggs of Portales and Jim and Lou Morgan of Portales and Carolyn Stroud of Portales, Uncle Will Genitski, Aunt Paige (Colby) Sneller of Clovis, Aunt Nicole (Joe) Mader of Columbus GA, Uncle Tyler (Emily) Morgan of Portales, as well as numerous great aunts, uncles, and cousins.
