Morgan was born March 13, 2003 in Tampa, Florida, daughter of Clinton and Emily Pierce and sister to Allison. She was a talented artist and an amazing chef. She enjoyed learning about cooking and was on the path to culinary school. Morgan was a fierce advocate for inclusion and fairness for all, she believed in kindness, and worked to help kids with cancer live normal lives. Morgan was stronger and more resilient than anyone we will ever know. She was proud, outspoken, and unapologetic.
She is survived by her parents and sister of Plant City, FL; grandmothers, Peggy Allen of Brandon, FL and Lana Pierce of Sun City, FL; aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends; and her beloved cat, Miley. Her grandfather Charlie Pierce preceded her in death.
