Obituary of Mary Dyce Morgan

Mary Dyce (Sally) Morgan "Aunt Sally" Died peacefully at Westmount Gardens in London on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at the age of 94. Daughter of the late Dr. Edward and Grace Morgan, she was predeceased by her two brothers, Tom (Barbara) and Sandy (Sue) Morgan, and by her beloved friend, Barbara Edwardson. Sally will be dearly missed by her nieces Deborah, Martha (Michael), Marna and Tara, and by her nephews, David (Kathy) and Jay (Barbara). Sally was born in Toronto July 11, 1924. She attended Bishop Strachan School, and then obtained her degree in physiotherapy at the University of Toronto. Sally's early career included working as a physiotherapist and teacher with the Royal Canadian Medical Corps, the Department of Veteran Affairs, the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, the Children's Hospital in Montreal, as well as the Toronto General Hospital. Sally was also a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, with the rank of Lieutenant, from 1944 to 1946, and received a Canadian Volunteer Service Medal for her service. In the mid 1960's, along with her colleague Barbara Edwardson, Sally helped to found the physiotherapy program at the University of Western Ontario. It was a successful labour of love that took great dedication and leadership, and the program has now become an international leader in the field of rehabilitation and therapy. Sally's love for her students and the teaching profession remained unwavering until she retired as Professor Emeritus in 1991. Sally's home on Dearborn Avenue, London, that she shared with Barbara Edwardson, became a wonderful haven for colleagues, students, and friends, a place where they could always find personal support, stimulating conversation, and wonderful food. Sally's family is forever grateful for the compassionate care that she received from all of her caregivers during her final years spent at both the Longworth and Westmount Gardens facilities in London, Ontario. Friends and family are invited to attend a celebration in honour of Sally's life at the UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO GRAD CLUB, (519-661-3082) Room 19 Middlesex College, 1151 Richmond Street, London, ON, N6A 3K7, on Friday, September 21, 2018, from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society London and Middlesex.
