Scott Haygood

Scott McGill Haygood passed away September 1st, 2022 at the age of 70. He is preceded in death by his parents, John Haygood, Mary McGill Haygood and his brother Reid Alexander Haygood. He is survived by his beloved sister Holly Mary Haygood and her wife Debra Morris. Scott grew up and resided in New Orleans. He graduated from Ridgewood Preparatory School and Louisiana State University with a B.A. in English. He spent his junior year abroad at the University of Rome. After graduation, he returned to Europe and attended the University of Nice. He then received his M.A. from the Sorbonne Universite’ in Paris. He returned to New Orleans and spent most of his career in sales with renowned International Art Galleries located on Royal Street in the French Quarter, and later with the Delta Queen River Cruises. Scotty as we knew him, lived most of his life in the French Quarter. He enjoyed the historic, eclectic lifestyle of the Vieux Carre’, frequently indulging in its many culinary pleasures. He loved to travel, mostly to escape the dreadful heat of summer. He had an insatiable appetite for Turner Classic Movies and could quote most any Hollywood celebrity. He loved entertaining for a multitude of friends, and famous for serving his iconic iced martinis while playing French music. His annual Kentucky Derby Party was quite the social to attend. His flair for cooking was demonstrated on many occasions, this one with Mary’s traditional Kentucky Ham Biscuits. His cool, calm and debonair persona was unmatched by his mischievous sense of humor. He often said that he “had the perfect face for radio”. He will be dearly missed by all, but never forgotten. In lieu of a memorial service, we’d like you to pay tribute to Scotty by raising your cocktail glass in your favorite watering hole or restaurant.
