Grace Louise Morgan Beasley, age 72, a lifelong resident of Guyton, passed away peacefully, Thursday January 15, 2026, at Candler Hospital after a brief illness. After a lifetime of devotion and short time apart, she is now reunited with her cherished daughter, April, whom she loved and cared for so deeply.

Louise was born October 11, 1953, to the late Hubert Thomas and Evelyn Priester Morgan. She graduated from Effingham County High School in 1971 where she was homecoming queen. Louise lived with a genuine heart and generous spirit, always putting the needs of others before her own. She found joy in caring for others and she was deeply devoted to her family. She faithfully spent time in Scripture and devotionals, drawing comfort, guidance, and strength from her faith. In her quieter moments, she enjoyed cooking, surrounding herself with flowers, and spending time with her dearly loved dogs. Louise shared a profound bond with her daughter, shaped by a lifetime of loving care, advocacy, and devotion. She was her daughter’s greatest source of strength, providing a love that never wavered, cherishing every moment and finding deep purpose in being her constant source of comfort and protection.
