Linda Lee Dugan's Obituary
Linda Lee (Morgan) Dugan
August 31, 1941 – March 6, 2025
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Linda Lee (Morgan) Dugan, age 83, of Rehoboth Beach, DE. After a brief illness, she peacefully departed this world on March 6, 2025, surrounded by love. Born on August 31, 1941, in Somerset, PA, Linda was the beloved daughter of the late Leroy and Helen (Mullen) Morgan.
Linda was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, whose kindness and warmth touched the lives of many. She is survived by her son, Patrick Dugan, and his wife, Mary Lynn, and their children Sara (Dugan) Jones and her husband Nicholas, Michael, and Grace; her daughter, Elizabeth Dugan, and her husband, Fred Kurst; and their children Morgan and Molly. She is also lovingly remembered by her siblings and their families, Michael Morgan of Fairport, NY, Barbara (Morgan) Will of Somerset, PA, and Mary-Alice (Morgan) Peretti-Kerr of Garrett, PA.
A proud graduate of Pennsylvania State University (Class of ’63), Linda initially began her career in social work, dedicated to helping those in need. When she became a mother, she devoted herself fully to raising her children with love, care, and guidance.
As her children grew older, Linda followed her passion for music and began teaching, becoming a dedicated piano teacher. She shared the joy of music with students of all ages, fostering a lifelong appreciation for the arts in those she taught. A gifted quilter, Linda, created award-winning pieces that will be treasured for generations. She was also an avid reader of murder mysteries who enjoyed British detective shows and science fiction films. A fanatical football fan, Linda eagerly awaited each football season, proudly cheering on her beloved Penn State Nittany Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers. Perhaps, her greatest passion, and her personal sanctuary, was her beloved home by the beach – a place of peace and joy where she welcomed family and friends with open arms.
A visitation will be held on May 31 2025 from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, DE, followed by a 11:00 AM celebration of life at the same location.

Linda’s spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed, but her warmth, love, and light will never be forgotten.
