Mary Seabourn

Mary Patricia Seabourn went home with the Lord on January 13, 2008 at the age of 73. She was born on February 14, 1934 in Springville, NY to Joseph Raymond and Dorothy Rose Hogan. She had two brothers Joey and Robert(Robin). She loved to go ice-skating on the frozen lakes of New York as a child and later lived in Louisiana and Oklahoma before settling in New Mexico. Many people said that living in these different places developed her unique accent. Mary graduated from Hobbs High School in 1952. She met and married Joseph Thornton Seabourn there on January 10, 1953. They had five children together in their 32 years of marriage. Her family moved to Lindsay in 1968. She stayed at home with her kids Joe D, Jack, Jim, Janelle, and Jeannine for most of their childhoods. She went back to work in 1985 after she and Joe T. divorced. She worked at Lindsay Gas n Go for many years. Her last job outside of the home was at Chic-fil-a in Norman. She really enjoyed working there and visiting with all the customers. Mary quit working there in June 2003 when she suffered a stroke. Mary was so much fun. She loved playing games and watching old movies. But, her greatest love and legacy was her children and grandchildren. Her children gave her more kids through marriage. Beth, Kelly, Jeff, and Monty all became her kids too. She was blessed with 10 loved grandkids: Joe's boys Joe and Don; Jack's girls Lexie and Rosie; Janelle's kids Steve, Kurt, Savanna and Delaney; and Jeannine's girls Jenna and Macy. She also gained a great granddaughter named Aniston. She was her grandkids #1 fan and went to all their games and school events. After delivering 5 Cherokee Nation members, her kids made her an honorary member. She is preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Dorothy; brothers Joey and Robin; son Jimmy and a child she lost during pregnancy. Mary was very witty and didn't know a stranger. She could and would talk to anyone she met and was a joy to be around. She was incredibly generous and was so giving to her family and others. If she had it to give, it was yours. She was incredibly strong mentally and physically. The stroke she suffered in 2003 left her paralyzed on her left side (she was left handed). She worked hard and conquered this disability and was walking again in a few months. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to go back to work and she was upset about retiring. She suffered another stroke in June of 2007. It again attacked her left side and she wasn't able to bounce back the second time around. But, she never gave up and was convinced she would walk again one day. Her Irish, fighting spirit continued when she was diagnosed with cancer in December. She was determined that it would not get the best of her and it did not. Her beautiful, graceful spirit held on until Jesus came to get her as she was surrounded by all of her children. She will be greatly missed. Services for Mary will be on January 18, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Lindsay, OK. Interment will be at the Green Hill Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of B. G. Boydston Funeral Home in Lindsay, Oklahoma. Condolences may be sent to the family on line at www.boydstonfuneralhome.com.
