Lula Maxine Hogsed Morgan Johnson Lula Maxine Hogsed Morgan Johnson passed away on April 7, 2014 at Transylvania Regional Hospital after a brief illness. She was 80 years old. She was preceded in death by her parents Carman and Leslie McGaha Hogsed, her two brothers Harold (Tiny) and Jeff Hogsed, her four sisters Cornelia (Nelly) Gravely, Jessie Lance, Sallie Hogsed, and Jacksie Gravley, her two husbands George James Johnson of Tennessee, and Gentry Paul Morgan Sr., her son Gentry Paul Morgan Jr. and her great-grandson Shelby Lee Newton. Many other family members were waiting for her arrival from this world. She leaves behind her only surviving sister out of eight children Mary Elizabeth Bailey and her children: Sharon Deborah Morgan Newton of Hendersonville, Gayle Maxine Morgan Garvitte, Leslie Ardella Morgan Douglas of Travelers Rest and Bessie Lynn Johnson Smith. Eight grandchildren that love her very much: Shonna and Laura Newton, Jessie and Chrystal Garvitte, Misty and Matthew Douglas with Mandisa and Ayla Wynn. Lula has eleven great grand-children and one great-great-grandson that she got to hold and play with on Friday April 4th, he was four days old. Lula accomplished many things in her short life. She, along with the other members of the community, worked hard to get the See Off Community Center built and to get the recognition that it deserved. She was instrumental in getting telephone services, mail services to the homes, electricity, getting the roads paved, a bookmobile for the children and a playground that many children have enjoyed. She also held the title of President for the Club for several years. She was awarded the "Western North Carolina Community Leadership Award" in December of 1976 and the "Woman of the Year" award. She loved all of her family and neighbors and did what she could to help them. In return, her family loved her. Not just her children but her nieces, nephews, etc. thought there was no one else like 'Aunt Lula'. There was hardly a day that went by that she didn't receive several visits and phone calls from her 'family'. All were her family. Lula Johnson will sorely be missed by all who were lucky enough to have had the opportunity to have known this very special lady. Friends and family visitation will be held at Moody-Connolly Funeral Home this Saturday April 12, 2014 from 6:00 to 8:00. Graveside rites will be held at 2 PM Sunday, April 13, 2014 at Dunn's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery on See Off Mountain where Lula will be laid to rest beside her first husband, Gentry.
