Morgan was a wonderful mother to her three beautiful girls. Every day she strived to make sure they were happy as the girls were her pride and joy. She continuously put family first and kept her heart open for anyone that needed help, advice, or just to talk. Morgan will be remembered as intelligent, beautiful, and a caring woman that everyone knew her to be. She was a loving and compassionate wife who supported anything that her husband wanted to do. Morgan enjoyed sitting out in the sun while reading a book and listening to her girls play in the yard. She looked forward to any family gathering where they played cards, board games, and sat around the bonfire. She was appreciative when her nieces would tell her she looked like a princess in any dress she wore. She also liked picking up shifts at her dad’s restaurant and waitressing just so she could talk to everyone that came in. The stories that she was told there will be forever remembered. Morgan was a people person in every way possible, an amazing mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, and child of God. Nothing will replace the light that shined from within her.
The memory of Morgan Lee Grunewald is survived by her husband, Jake; her daughters – Eleanor, Charlotte, and Margaret; mother Jennifer (Bruce) Starkson; sisters Carley (Jarret) Byrnes and Karina (Michael) Helsper; brother Justin Klabunde (Kailee Bertrand); grandmother Caroline Black; father and mother-in-law Matt (Kim) Grunewald, mother-in-law Mary Ann (Bill) Grunewald; sisters-in-law Jenna (Taylor) Grunewald, Chelsi (Clint) Engan and Sammie (Cody) McCoy; grandparents Steve and Kathy Grunewald; many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her grandpa Leroy.
