          Along with his parents, John was preceded in death by a son, Rev. Bobby Dean Morgans, and his wife of 69 years, Rhodana Mae Morgans.  Survivors include three children, Rev. Gary R. Morgans (Teresa), Diana Snider (Donald deceased), and Rev. Douglas J. Morgans (Mae); daughters-in-law, Barbara Morgans, Rita Decker, and Lynn Morgans; 23 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren, as well as other family members and many friends.
