Phyllis Dickey Seabolt

Phyllis Dickey Seabolt, a loving and resilient woman, passed away peacefully at home after a brief illness on December 5, 2023 at the age of 84. Born in Millen, Georgia on February 23, 1939, she spent her years embracing life, always ready for the next adventure. A long-time resident of Gainesville, Georgia, Phyllis was known for her love of conversation, infectious sense of humor, and independent spirit. Her love for life was evident in her many hobbies, which included traveling the world, playing bridge, dancing, reading, watching old movies, and spending time with friends and family. Phyllis led a life filled with joy and a love for new experiences. Her adventurous spirit took her across the globe, yet her favorite voyages were the ones that led her home to her family. A devoted homemaker, Phyllis found great joy in creating a warm, welcoming space for her loved ones, filled with hearty laughter and endless stories. An avid bridge player, she was often surrounded by friends at the card table, her spirit of fun and hospitality shining through. As a member of First Baptist Church and the Seekers Sunday School Class, she found solace, fellowship, and a deep connection to her faith. Phyllis was a beacon of love, offering her heart to her many friendships, both long-time and new.  Phyllis was preceded in death by Hugh Seabolt, her husband of 28 years, her parents, Maurice and Vada Dickey, her brothers, Rex and Marshall Dickey, her father-in-law and mother-in-law Ernest and Laura Seabolt, and her sister-in-law Sue Cisson. She is survived by her children, Amy (Jeff) Lawson and Clay Seabolt; her grandchildren Landry (Gay Anne) Haynes, Casey (Melanie) Lawson, Carrie (Andrew) Phillips, Chloe Seabolt, and Nate Seabolt; her great-granddaughters Molly Phillips and Mackey Haynes; her siblings-in-law Jerry (Pat) Seabolt, David (Bobbie) Seabolt, and Gene Cisson, and numerous nieces and nephews. Phyllis's memory will be cherished by her family and her many friends.  A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 9, 2023, at 10:00 am EST at First Baptist Church, located at 751 Green Street, NW Gainesville, Georgia, 30501 with visitation to follow in the church parlor. We encourage those who knew and loved Phyllis to honor her life by sharing memories and uploading photos on her memorial page.
