Camille Walpole Morgan

Camille Walpole Morgan died on December 16, 2025. Her parents were Edward and Camille Walpole. She was married to Charles (Chuck) Morgan, Jr. on September 5, 1953. They were together until his death on January 8, 2009.

Camille was a native of Birmingham, AL. She attended Ramsay High School and graduated from the University of Alabama. She was an Alabama football fan for life and according to her, but never verified, she invented the red and white pompoms/shakers that are ubiquitous at home games.

She was an incredible typist, editor and grammarian. She was extremely well read on a variety of subjects and was remarkably astute regarding politics. She knew all the rules regarding good manners. She was the greatest parallel parker of all time.

Camille and Chuck were active in the Civil Rights and anti-war movements throughout the 1960's and '70's. Much of their story is told in books authored by Chuck - A Time To Speak and One Man One Voice. They moved from Birmingham in 1963 and lived in Atlanta, Washington D.C, and Destin, FL. 

Though Camille only had one child, she was a maternal figure to the many young, idealistic lawyers and staff who worked in their offices.

Camille and Chuck traveled extensively before their retirement in Destin.

Camille is survived by her son, Charles Morgan, III (Carla); four grandchildren, Edward Jackson (Elizabeth), Leah Camille (Matt), Russell Chatham (Marilu), and Jane Dean (Joseph); and eight great grandchildren. 

Her caregivers became a part of her family. Katrina Duncan, Tawana Clayborne, Latavia Womack, Samantha Osieczanek, Raquel Long, and Maria Floyd are all remarkable people. Special thanks to Jessie Owens, Ann Seaton, and Regina Davenport for their help over the years.

Jeannie Noel was a friend for three decades and was by her side for both incredible adventures and difficult times. 

While packing to leave Birmingham (in a hurry) in 1963, Ed Porter, who worked odd jobs for the family, remarked: "That Miss Camille could lift the other end of anything". 

She could. And she did.

There will be a private reception at the family's home.
