Catherine
Morgan
(Langdon-Lorentzen),
a resident of Truth or
Consequences for the past
29 years passed away on
Aug. 14, 2014, at home
with her son and his wife by
her side, Clint and Connie
Langdon. She was 89 years,
five months and 19 days
old.
Catherine was preceded in
death by her parents, Albert
Knut and Merle (Mott)
Lorentzen;
husbands,
Charles O. Langdon and
Thomas “Ted” Morgan;
two daughters-in-law, Elva
McCurry (Raymond), and
Rachel Johnson; sisters-inlaw, Lorene (Earl) Confer
and Geri Anderson; and
brother-in-law,
Glythe
Tucker.
Catherine is survived by
her sons, Clint Landon
(Connie) of Truth or
Consequences, N.M.; Bill
(W.O.) Langdon (Sandy)
of Lamar, Colo.; stepson,
Tom Morgan (Roberta) of
Albany, Ore.; stepson-inlaw, Roy Johnson of Lamar,
Colo.; two grandsons,
Edward Langdon (Emilda)
of Evans, Colo., and Riley
Langdon (Lindsay) of
Fountain, Colo.; 10 greatgrandchildren; two sisterin-laws, Dorothy Tucker of
Colorado Springs and Ada
Morrison of Laramie, Wyo.;
many nieces, nephews, and
a host of friends.
Catherine went to Clover
Meadow School through
the eighth grade in Clover
Meadow,
Colo.
She
graduated in 1945 from
Lamar Union High School
in Lamar, Colo. She went to
work at Wheelers Grocery
and met Charles. They
were married Jan. 1, 1949,
and made their home in
Lamar, Colo. She worked at
Wheelers Grocery as a clerk.
After Clint was born, the
family moved to Anaheim,
Calif., and she helped the
family business working
at Knots Berry Farm. She
and Dollie Langdon made
bonnets and sold them at
the gift shop. After several
years, they moved back
to Lamar, where she ran a
boarding house at 204 S.
Third St., in Lamar, Colo.
Bill was born during these
years, and in 1956, they
bought a Skelly Gas Station
with Bulk Gas & Oil
delivery. Catherine ran the
station and kept their own
books, while Charles made
the deliveries. They bought
Bristol Machine Shop
in 1960, again she kept
the books and continued
running the business while
raising two rambunctious
boys. They sold this
business and in 1962 they
bought May Valley Store &
Repair in May Valley, Colo.
Catherine was mercantile
store keeper and ran New
Holland Part Business (the
largest outside of Denver).
She sold used cars, RVs
and campers (large and
small), and had a full
service mechanic shop.
They started coming down
to Truth or Consequences in
1985. She continued to run
May Valley Store & Repair
until they closed the store in
1987. Catherine was always
helping the boys with
their livestock, working
with the horses at home,
and was active in various
positions with Vaqueros
Saddle
Club
(lifetime
member) in Lamar, Colo.
She was also a member
of Lamar Rebekah’s for
many years and a member
of Home Demonstration
Club in Lamar. Charles and
Catherine were married 41
years. In 1997, while at a
senior trip in Laughlin, Nev.,
she met Ted Morgan. They
were married in May and
made their home year round
in Truth or Consequences,
N.M. They loved their
retirement
lifestyle
in
Truth or Consequences.
She played May I cards,
shuffled with other seniors,
beading and dancing at
the Play House in Truth or
Consequences. She enjoyed
cooking and baking, and
having family and friends
over for a good game of
Mexican Train (Dominos)
and Fast Track. They were
also active members of the
Moose Lodge of Buena
Vista, Colo., and Truth or
Consequences and VFW
Auxiliary. They fished
and traveled together, and
enjoyed visiting with the
grandchildren, later the
great-grandchildren as well.
Ted and Catherine were
married 12 years. Catherine
became an active member
of Church at the Butte
in Elephant Butte, N.M.,
where she helped with
meals, was a door greeter,
helped with decorations,
helped with transportation
and really “anywhere” she
was needed.
She will be missed, but
we know she has gone on
before us to be in a much
better place, with her Lord
and Savior.
Catherine’s wishes were
to be cremated. A Memorial
Celebration Service will be
held Thursday, Aug. 21,
2014, at 10 a.m., at Church

Bruce Morrison officiating,
