Annabelle Morgan

April 20, 1920 ~ February 23, 2019

It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of our mom on February 23, 2019. Annabelle Morgan passed away peacefully at the Florence House Assisted Living Center. Annabelle was born to Harry T. and Olivia (Melonson) Miller in New Orleans, LA. She attended McDonough #35 High School and moved to Seattle in the early 1940's. Soon after her arrival, she married Bradford A. Morgan of Greenwood, MS. Annabelle worked as a riveter at the Boeing Company during World War II. The couple bought a home in Seattle's Central District where they raised their two daughters and joined St. Therese Catholic Church. Annabelle was a long-time volunteer tutor at St. Therese School. She loved entertaining, playing cards, drinking beer and hosting parties including the Virgo, St. Patrick's Day and hat parties. For many years, she hosted a fund-raising gumbo dinner which benefited St. Therese School. She was one of a kind!

Annabelle was preceded in death by her husband, her parents and her seven brothers and sisters including her twin, Anna Mae. Annabelle is survived by her daughters Sandy Morgan of Seattle and Trish Bradley of Portland, her nephew Jimmy Pierre (Sandy) of Seattle, her grandson Chris Ryan and many nieces, nephews, in-laws and two great-grandchildren.

We are forever grateful to the owner and staff of the Florence House for the care they gave our mom.

A funeral Mass will be held at St. Therese Catholic Church on Friday March 8th at 11:00 am.

Please no flowers, but consider a donation to a charity of your choice.

Mrs. Morgan was an inspiration to me. I admired her intellect and plain-spoken way. I knew that behind that intelligent and larger-than-life personality was a kind and generous woman. When she spoke to me, I was honored. She had a soft spot in her heart for a young, struggling mother. We shared a birthday just a day apart and always promised each other that one day we would share a beer to celebrate. I will toast her this year, fighting back tears, as I remember her with respect and as an inspiration to our community.

Sandy and Trish; My condolences on the loss of your beautiful and gracious mother, Annabelle. She was always so welcoming and uplifting. She was a pillar of the community. Although her loss is great, we were fortunate to have her in our lives for so long. I regret having to miss her Mass, but I was in the air at the time. May God bless you and give you peace. Anita J.

Hi, my name is Craig Lawson and was your parents neighbor from 1983 through 1996. My house was on the corner and the Newtons were in between us. Your father Brad and I used to harvest the fall leaves for mulch for his garden. He was a very kind and gentle man . When he died and my former wife had moved out of our house, I used to spend quite a bit of time talking with your mother and having Dolly and your mom over for dinner. All three of us went out to dinner at the Leschi Café one evening and it was so much fun. I will not forget her fund raising gumbo dinner. She was such a dear and it was with a sad heart that I saw her obituary this morning. Please take solace in remembering what a rich and long life she had and will not be soon forgotten.

Words can not describe Annabelle Morgan... one of a kind ....full of fun , humor and caring. She always made me smile. I feel it was an honor to have her in my life. I feel fortunate to be one of the many people who loss money to her in poker games, she was good but also lucky. Her life stories will live on in my life and my children's. I have never had better gumbo or had so much fun doing dishes in a basement sink. A big shout out to her family and huge thanks to them for sharing her with so many..
