Help Honor Melissa Joy “Missy” Morgan’s Final Wishes

It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Melissa Joy “Missy” Morgan, age 62, of Burnsville, MN. Melissa was truly an angel on earth—someone who prayed daily for her loved ones and lived her life with quiet faith and strength. Known for having a "straight line to Jesus," her spirit and unwavering love touched everyone who knew her.

Melissa passed away peacefully in her home, leaving her family and friends with the heartbreaking task of arranging her final services. Due to ongoing health issues, including arthritis in her hands and a lifelong mental disability, Melissa was unable to work and relied on state assistance for housing and personal needs. Unfortunately, she was not in a position to prepare financially for funeral expenses.

We are asking for your help to raise $5,500 to cover the cost of her funeral expenses and to honor her final wish—to return to a body of water for her eternal rest. The funds will be used for:

• Funeral and memorial service expenses

• Travel and transportation costs to lay her to rest in accordance with her wishes

Any amount, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this with others who might be able to help.

Your support means the world to Melissa’s family and all who loved her.

Thank you for helping us give Missy the peaceful, dignified farewell she deserves.

With love and gratitude,


Margaret Morgan, Mary Ziegler, and all of Melissa’s nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.
