Sammie Carol Putnam Morgan

Mrs. Sammie Carol Putnam Morgan, 80, of Walkertown, North Carolina, passed away on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital. Born on September 15, 1945, in Mitchell County, North Carolina, to the late Samuel William Putnam and Nola Mae Wilson Putnam, Sammie was a woman of deep and steadfast Christian faith.

A proud native Appalachian, Sammie carried an exceptional memory of her family tree and the mountain history that shaped her. She found joy in cooking, sketching, interior design, bird watching, and singing the mountain folk music she loved, often harmonizing with her four sisters. Those who knew her will always remember her honesty and the way she could always tell it like it is.

Sammie was a devoted wife, mother, and friend whose warmth and strength touched everyone around her. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Donald Ray Morgan; her four sisters, Wilma Wilson, Georgia Shelton, Hattie Davis, and Amelia Kincaid; and one grandchild.

She is survived by her sons, Christopher Morgan (Ronda) and David Morgan; two grandchildren; and many beloved extended family members. A private family burial will take place at Snow Hill Cemetery in Bakersville, North Carolina.
