Lee and Vicki Morgan have dedicated their lives to community, philanthropy, and purposeful living. Lee’s roots trace back generations in St. Cloud, where his great-grandfather served as the Stearns County Surveyor. Though career opportunities led his family to Ohio, Lee later took over his father’s printing business in 1968, growing it into the Antioch Company, parent of Creative Memories. Even early on, philanthropy was embedded in his leadership—through both personal giving and the Antioch Company Foundation.
Vicki began her career in education, teaching in The Netherlands and India, and later poured her time and energy into volunteerism and community fundraising while raising their two children. In Yellow Springs, Ohio, she became a dynamic force in local efforts, serving on school committees, supporting the soccer program, and leading the Yellow Springs Community Foundation as a board member and president. It was during this time she discovered her true talent: creatively rallying people and resources to support causes she cared about.
After selling their company shares, Lee and Vicki established the Morgan Family Foundation, a vehicle to expand their giving and deepen their impact. Vicki embraced this opportunity to focus on issues close to her heart, particularly social equity and End-of-Life advocacy, including serving on the board of Light the Legacy. Meanwhile, Lee turned his attention to civic and environmental causes—staying active in the League of Women Voters, traveling, playing and refereeing soccer, and founding a local chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby.
Their move to Annandale reignited their commitment to community in new ways. Vicki brought joy and creativity to local initiatives like the United Way Imagination Library Progressive Dinners and the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop, while Lee quietly supported and inspired through leadership and service. Now “professionally retired” but busier than ever, the Morgans continue to share their time, talents, and treasure with a spirit of generosity that has touched communities near and far.
