Virginia S. Seabrook, 95, died Sunday, February 16, 2020 at Country Cottage Assisted Living in
Corinth, MS.
She was born November 28, 1924 in Spring City, TN, the daughter of the late James and Sarah
Trammel Strathern. She worked after high school as a typist for TVA in East Tennessee, before
making her way across the state to attend Memphis Baptist Nursing School that led her to
Jackson-Madison County General Hospital as a RN. She then joined her husband, Robert, at
Seabrook’s Paint and Wallpaper that led her to be one of Jackson’s first interior designers, both
residential and commercial. This was a perfect fit for her because of her hard work ethic, great
decision making, the ability to guide people, and always doing the right thing. After her
retirement from Seabrook’s, she worked with Jackson Parks and Recreation teaching water
aerobics at the Union University Pool. The odd thing about that was she could not swim, but
she loved her classes! After her time with Jackson Parks and Recreation, she moved to Corinth,
MS.
In 1947 she married her husband Robert. He preceded her in death in 2009 after 62 years of
marriage.
Mrs. Seabrook is survived by her children, Robert H. Seabrook Jr. and his wife Sondra, of
Nevada, Jenny Seabrook Blankenship and her husband Dwight of Tennessee and Beth Seabrook
Hendrick and her husband Richard of Mississippi; a special daughter in law Cassa Seabrook of
Jackson, TN; six grandchildren, Dr. Todd Seabrook and his wife Katie of Jackson, TN, Dr. Amy
Seabrook Wilson of Murfreesboro, TN, Laura Beth Walk and her husband Steve of Collierville,
TN, Steven Blankenship and his wife Carolyn of Houston, TX, Jennybeth and Annalee Hendrick
of Corinth, MS; four great grandchildren Hayden Walk, Ainslee Walk, Reid Walk and Hadlee
Walk, all of Collierville, TN.
