Constance Morrow Morgan

During the Second World War, Morgan joined her husband in organizing a press and information service in New York, later the British Information Services. She led a team responsible for analysing American media for use by British government officials, contributing to wartime communication between the U.S. and the United Kingdom.^[1]

After the war, the Morgans settled in Ridgefield, Washington, where they managed a dairy and timber farm. At the request of Sir Oliver Franks, the British Ambassador to the United States, they later returned to Washington, D.C., where Constance Morgan played an active social and diplomatic role at the British Embassy.^[1]

Morgan returned to the Pacific Northwest in 1953 and became active in education and philanthropy. She served as a trustee of Smith College from 1956 to 1971, acting as chair from 1967 to 1971. She served as a trustee of the Marshall Fellows Program as well.^[1][2] In 1970 A Distant Moment was published. The book is a biography of her mother who had also been chairman of the Smith board.^[1]

Morgan died of a stroke in Portland, Oregon, on 25 March 1995, aged 81.^[2]
