Lucy Arlene Morgan, 77, of Camden, Maine, died at 4:45 a.m. Feb. 27, 2011, in her residence under the care of hospice services.
She was born Oct. 5, 1933, in Warsaw, to Paul and Evelyn Wolfe, who preceded her in death.
She graduated from Ball State Teachers College in 1955 after completing a degree in speech and hearing therapy. She taught special education, performed speech and hearing therapy and provided substitute teaching at several elementary schools in the Leesburg, Milford and Warsaw areas.

It was a team effort.
