With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Morgan Morrell, of Fort Smith, Arkansas, who left this world far too soon on August 30, 2025, at the age of 37.

Morgan’s life was a beautiful testament to love, resilience, and compassion. To those who knew her best, she was a source of encouragement, strength, and laughter. Her friends recall her as someone who could light up even the darkest moments with her humor and warmth, and her family remembers her as a fiercely devoted mother, daughter, granddaughter, and sister.

Her passing is mourned by her grandmother, Bobbie Goff, a figure of strength and comfort in Morgan’s life, as well as her siblings: Kelly, Skylar Hays, Michaela, and Jacob Kirby. To her siblings, Morgan was more than just family—she was a confidante, a supporter, and a constant presence through life’s highs and lows. She also adored her nieces and nephews, Anna Shields, Tova Oliver, and River Hays, who brought her so much pride and joy.
