Eloise F. Morgan

"Fill your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me on tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, and the smile— I’ve only gone to rest for a while." 

Eloise Footman Morgan was born on June 9, 1947, in Mitchell County, Georgia, to the late Ira Footman and Ethel Jackson Footman. Affectionately known as “Moody Gal” in her youth and later lovingly called “Fox News” by her children, Eloise carried a spirit full of personality, wisdom, and joy. 

At an early age, Eloise accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, and she faithfully attended William Temple CME Church in Winter Haven, Florida. Her faith was the cornerstone of her life, guiding her through every season. She was educated in the Polk County School System and proudly graduated from Jewette High School, Class of 1966. Soon after, Eloise met and married Charlie Morgan, and together they were blessed with three beautiful children. From humble beginnings, their journey took them abroad through military service in Germany and later to Ft. Myers, Virginia. 

In 1984, Eloise relocated to Tacoma, Washington, where she built a life filled with resilience and purpose. After earning her Business Degree, she dedicated over 20 years of service to Catholic Community Services, where she worked as a supervisor for the Home Health Agency until her retirement. Her work touched countless lives, reflecting her compassion and commitment to caring for others. Eloise’s passions were many—she loved traveling and found peace in her garden—but her greatest joy was her grandchildren. She delighted in sharing stories about them, her face lighting up with pride and love. Eloise often spoke of the goodness of God, reminding those around her that His grace was her strength and His presence her comfort. 

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Ira and Ethel Footman, and siblings Doris Dudley, Laura Jean Williams, Laura Dean Clifton, and Larsenia Donaldson. 

Eloise leaves behind a legacy of love and faith. She is survived by her children, Quantana (Jay), Cameron of Little River, South Carolina, and Danielle of Tampa, Florida; grandchildren,  Todielle, Anthony, Nico, Janae, and Niya; great-grandchildren, five precious blessings who carry her spirit forward; siblings, Evelyn Brown of Miami, FL, Ethel Smothers of Grand Rapids, MI, Ira Footman Jr. of College Park, GA, Robert Footman (Barbara) of Palm Beach, FL, Scottie Footman (Mavis) of Grand Rapids, MI, Ralph Footman (Alfreida) of Winter Haven, FL, Timothy Footman (Charlotte) of Bartow, FL, and Bernard Footman of Winter Haven, FL.

On Monday, December 8, 2025, God gently called His child home to eternal rest. No more sickness, no more pain only peace in His everlasting arms. Eloise’s life was a testament to faith, resilience, and unconditional love. Though she has gone to rest, her laughter, wisdom, and devotion will forever echo in the hearts of those who knew her.
