Sumie Morgan

Sumie Morgan, age 88, of Parkersburg, WV, passed away Sunday, July 27, 2025, at The Wyngate Senior Living Community. She was born August 15, 1936, in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Ken, Japan.

She was preceded in death by her parents Yukiki and Sueko Fukasawa, and her husband of 38 years Robert O. Morgan.

Sumie was a loving wife and mother, and also a military spouse. She lived in California when she first came to the United States of America and became a naturalized citizen in Sacramento. After her husband retired from military service she lived 14 years with her family in Panama where her husband took a civil service job at the Panama Canal Zone. Upon retirement the couple decided to make West Virginia their home and together they built a log house in Rockport.

Sumie loved nature and appreciated the natural beauty of West Virginia, which she considered her home. Her love for flowers began at an early age when she became a student of ikebana and eventually achieved master level certification in the artform.

She is survived by her children Albert Sam Morgan (Dawn) of Clarksville, TN and Ruth Hunter of Del City, OK; three grandchildren; and several great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Sumie had a special relationship with her great-niece Kathy Heflin (Robert) and dear friend Barbara Hite.
