"If I can help somebody as I pass along. If I can cheer somebody, with a word or song. If I can help somebody, that is traveling wrong, then my living shall not be in vain." Juanita (Neat) Hilda Morgan, 88, native and resident of Donaldsonville, Louisiana. Juanita was born on February 2, 1931 to the union of the late Raymond Morgan and Hilda Alayasia Jones Morgan in Donaldsonville, Louisiana (McCall-Souvenir area). On Wednesday February 6, 2019, "Neat" was called home, swiftly to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Juanita was a very active member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church where she was baptized at an early age by Rev. E.J. Ellis. She served under 5 pastors, for over 84 years, in various leadership positions including: Church Treasurer, Church Clerk and Honorary Pastor's Aid Member, under her current pastor, Rev. Darryl L. Smith Jr. Neat was a 1946 graduate of Lowery Training School. She was enrolled, at the age of 15, at the Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge. She graduated from Southern in 1952 and received a B.S. degree in Business Education and later received a Master's Degree in 1973. Then in 1974 she added 30 graduate hours. Neat began her teaching career at McDonough #32 Elementary School in Algiers, LA. She was then employed at Southern University under the late Dr. L.L. Boykins and the late Dr. W.W. Clem in the College of Education. She then began teaching business subjects at Lowery High School in 1966 until 1969. During the Spring of 1970 she was transferred to East Ascension High School, Gonzales, LA, working in the Business Department until 1980. Ms. Morgan was appointed to the position of Assistant Principal of instruction at Donaldsonville High School in August 1980 and served until her retirement in 1995. Juanita will be remembered in many fond ways. She was a generous and Kindhearted servant, who loved God, her family, her church, her community, and her "good friends" as she would say. Neat would be seen all around Donaldsonville and knew almost everyone with whom she came in contact. Neat was a member of the following organizations: Southern University Alumni Federation - Tri Parish Chapter (life member), Ascension Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and Pride of Donaldsonville Order of Eastern Star Chapter #80. We loved Juanita, but God loved her best. Loving memories will be cherished by her children: Carlos D. Robinson of Houston, TX; Robyn Penn Delaney (Lauthaught Sr.), and Lisa "Bonnie" Penn, both of Donaldsonville; her grandchildren, Lauthaught Delaney Jr. (Christalyn), Alayasia Delaney White (Titus) and Sherman E. Robinson; her great-grandchildren, Kiyah and Kyle Delaney, Talaya and Andre' White, and Peyton and Ava Robinson; godchildren, Murray Sanders, Dwayne Wise, Mark Peters, and Carol Ann Lewis; and a host of relatives and friends, and former co-workers and students. She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Hilda Morgan; grandparents, John and Sally Landix Jones and Josephine Morgan; and a host of other uncles, aunts, relatives and friends.

Ms. Morgan was one of the nicest, kindest educators. I worked in the office with her many years ago, and she was always helpful to others. Donaldsonville has lost a very special lady. Sad to read this news.

Dear Carlos, Robyn and Lisa,
As "the village" has changed, we are tremendously blessed to have had Ms. Neat as one of our sage elders in our village. We thank the Lord that she was a part of ours and so many others lives. She did help many "somebodies" along the way and I will speak for many, to say, her living was not in vain, because many, if not all became great citizens. She will be remembered as "A Blessing".
