Barbara E. “Barbi” Morgan, 57, of Rockton, IL, was a loving and doting mother and grandmother ("Gigi"). She enjoyed traveling and tending to her flowers, concerts, specialty festivals, roller skating in teen years, being with her dogs, family and friends, always hosting events, and of course her favorite hobby - shopping!
Barbi passed away suddenly, Sunday, August 7, 2022 at Swedish American Hospital surrounded by her loving family. They say, "Barbi had a very spontaneous, fun, exciting, strong extravagant personality, always living life to the fullest... a caring, bigger than life personality and the sparkle she left will be missed."
