Stacey Lee Sinatra Morgan

After high school she attended classes at UNO’s Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism, studied Italian (language and arts) in Milan, Italy, participated in many classes at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, Glass Blowing at New Orleans Glass Works, and received certifications from the New Orleans Creative Floral Design School, and the Culinary Arts at Sclafani Cooking School New Orleans.

She was a dynamic mother of two happy children that were her primary passion and also the full-time caretaker of her mother. Prior employment included bookkeeping at the Old Absinthe House Bar, production at Commanders Palace, and cooking at Whole Foods New Orleans, Joey’s Specialty Gourmet Lafayette, and Caffe Caffe Metairie.

Always caring for those around her and always having a kind word to say. She loved the arts, travel, and all things Italy which began when living abroad there for many years and attending school in Milan. Her enthusiasm surrounding culinary arts kept her in pursuit of her long-time dream to open her own café. But most of all, she loved and took care of her children who were her world.

Stacey died from cancer peacefully surrounded by her family on January 26, 2022. She is survived by her beloved son and daughter, Joe and Annabella Morgan; her parents Linda Elizabeth Geer and Joseph A. Sinatra, Jr. (Brenda); her ex-husband, friend and co-parent, Richard H. Morgan; her uncle, Larry Geer (Jo Ann); and cousins and their children, Gesila McMahon, Lale Geer (Julita), Leaf Pellegrin (Durell), Brenna, Gabe, Noah, Garrin, Sophia, and Greyson.
