 | | | Photo provided | | | | | | Katie Morgan joined the Lafayette Juniors in 2012 and was an incredibly active and passionate board member until her retirement in 2020. Morgan passed away surrounded by family and friends on Aug. 12, 2022. She held numerous board positions throughout her tenure in Juniors, including running the Kitchen Tour, leading Community Service efforts, and serving as president as well as a two-year stint as parliamentarian. Members who worked alongside her all benefited from her quick wit and dry humor, her incredible intelligence, but mostly her generous capacity for kindness and love toward the underserved. Morgan was fiercely dedicated to serving those in need in her community.
The Lafayette Juniors have created a Katie Morgan Service Award which will be given yearly to an outstanding member who emulates the same commitment and dedication to serving those in need as Morgan did in her time with the Juniors.?
Additionally, a bench in her honor has been erected across from the Toyon Room at the Lafayette Community Center, a spot where she spent many hours and made countless memories.?
To help raise funds for melanoma research, her family has started Katie's Memorial Giving Campaign, which can be viewed at the link: www.justgiving.com/campaign/katiemorgan?invite=true |
