Sue Nell Morgan, 94, of Eufaula, Oklahoma, peacefully transitioned to her eternal rest on January 12, 2026, at her home. Born on August 23, 1931, in Checotah, Oklahoma, she was the cherished daughter of Luther and Violet G. (Prim) Dunegan.

On August 15, 1950, Sue married Tracy Lee Morgan in Fort Smith, Arkansas, who preceded her in death on July 4, 1995. During her career, Sue dedicated 25 years as an office clerk for Oklahoma Natural Gas, where her work was a reflection of her commitment and diligence. Sue was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church for more than 60 years, where she found both community and solace.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Lea Ann Cook and husband Wayne of Eufaula, OK; her sons, David Morgan

and wife Cyndie of Jacksonville, TX, and Scott Morgan of Eufaula, OK; son-in-law Gene Cook and wife Jamie; as well as 11 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews. Sue’s legacy includes the love of her family and the memories they created together.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Luther and Violet Dunegan; her step-father CM “Doc” Mize; daughter Janice Cook; sister Jo Baker; brother Jean Paul Dunegan; great-granddaughter Jaylea; and great grandson Gavin and greatgreat grandson Traveler.

A celebration of Sue’s life took place at 10 a.m. on Friday, January 16, 2026, at the First Baptist Church, with Reverend J. Ingram, Reverend Gene Cook, Reverend Dane Yandell and Reverend James Hickman officiating.

Pallbearers included Dakota Morgan, Jeremy Morgan, Josh Morgan, Brian Cook, Chandler Cook, and Caleb Cook. Honorary pallbearers were Levi Morgan, Dale Riley, and Steve Morgan.

Following the service, burial was at Greenwood Cemetery under the direction of Hunn, Black & Merritt Funeral Home & Crematory.
