Elise M. Morgan (Miss Morgan) age 87 of Lincoln Park on Sunday, March 29, 2009 at the Saint Josephs Hospital in Wayne. A very special and dedicated teacher in the Wayne School System.
She was born in Lincoln Park and had lived there all of her life.
Elise received her formal education at Boonton High School graduating with the Class of 1938. She then went on to study at the Montclair State Normal School which later became Montclair State University in Montclair. She received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. Elise went on to receive a Masters in Education from New York University in New York City after which she continued her education toward her Doctorate.
She was respected as a fine and dedicated teacher in the Wayne School System for over fifty years. Her dedication to her chosen profession was exemplary and she was very fond of her students. They greatly respected her even though she was a strict teacher in the classroom setting. Miss Morgan is fondly remembered by thousands of students whom she taught business education skills including proficiency in typing. Now that society is in the computer age it can be safely said that she gave all of her students an edge in their modern life skills.
Miss Morgan started her Wayne teaching career on April 6, 1943 at Wayne Junior High School, known later as Anthony Wayne School. She also taught at Wayne Valley High School and Wayne Hills High School finally retiring from her teaching career at George Washington Junior High School.
In the early days of her teaching career in the 1950’s she was hired by the United States State Department to teach American Service Men and their families in Spain and Japan.
Within her family she was much loved and called Aunt Elise. She was present at all family celebrations, events and dinners. She found much joy and comfort in the family setting.
She was gifted with an extraverted personality and in her leisure time loved to dance and mix with others. Elise was a regular at the Arthur Murray dance club events.
Surviving are one first cousin Kathryn Stone of Blandon, Pennsylvania; four second cousins Nancy Belsky and her husband Stephen of Blandon, Pa., Robert Stone and his wife Marilyn of Loveland, Colorado, Donald Stone and his wife Lisa of Lincoln Park, William Stone and his wife Katherine of Ardmore, Pennsylvania and Robert McLellan and his wife Theresa of Margate, Florida.
She is also survived by her loved and dedicated dog companion “Misty Morgan” a schnauzer.
