- Mona Lee Gum Morgan was very active in community affairs until the age of 80 when her health wouldn't allow it any longer. She was the leader of the Big Isaac Clovers 4-H Club for 37 years. She was a former Doddridge County Leader of the Year, a member of the Doddridge County 4-H Leaders Association and attained the highest award of 4-H All Stars. She worked countless hours on projects, including but not limited to dinners, to insure that any child who wanted to attend 4-H Camp had the resources to do so.
She was the 2006 recipient of The Exponent Telegram Cecil B. Highland Jr. Citizen of the Year Award having been nominated by Alice Proper. Proper called Mona a "community mother".
She served on the Doddridge County Park Board for 28 years, replacing her husband who had served and been instrumental in the purchase of the land for the Park. She was very proud of the Park and the role she played in improvements throughout the years.
She also served on the Republican Executive Committee for 28 years. She worked diligently on preparing the potato salad and fixings for the Annual Ox Roast. Mona Lee was known throughout the county as an excellent cook.
She also had real talent for quilting, sewing and embroidery. She was a member of the Quilting Circle at the Big Isaac UM Church. She took a lot of pride in her handiwork and enjoyed teaching the younger ladies how it was done. She embroidered countless sets of pillow cases, which she gave as gifts. She pieced and made quilts for each of her children and grandchildren.
She organized the Adopt-A-Highway program for the Big Isaac Clovers 4-H Club and the Big Isaac United Methodist Church for many years. [2]
