Morgan was a graduate of the Class of 2004 at Elwood High School. She went on to obtain her certificate in massage therapy shortly thereafter, and then graduated from AIB College of Business with a Bachelor’s in business in 2010. After working as a massage therapist for several years, Morgan started her own business, MY Massage & Wellness, in Omaha, NE, in 2015. She worked there until she closed her doors after her diagnosis in March 2023. She became a healer to so many through their body and mind.
Morgan married the love of her life Kyle Yardley on July 9, 2011, in Lincoln, NE. They loved to travel to picturesque destinations. Morgan’s favorite places were Greece and Sedona. She enjoyed spending time outdoors. Whether that was hiking, walking at Mahoney and Platte River parks, or playing co-ed/sand rec volleyball for many years, Morgan stayed very active. After Morgan discovered yoga, it drew her even deeper into the healing and energy work, which lead to a deep passion for healing herself and others. Morgan was a free spirit, yet a very grounded individual. Morgan also admired and adored her niece and six nephews whom she loved spending time with.
She is survived by the following family members: her husband, Kyle Yardley, Ashland, NE, and their beloved Boston Terrier Winston; parents Jim and Sharri Baldonado, Elwood, NE; sister Sara Baldonado, Underwood, IA, and her children Hudson, Axten, Carver, and Hollis Ross; sister Megan (Andrew) Bellamy, Cozad, NE, and their children Maverick, Lincoln, and Penelope; parents-in-law Nick and Pat Yardley, Ashland, NE; sister-in-law Erin Yardley, Lincoln, NE; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, as well as many friends.
