Eleanor Elizabeth Kendall Seabolt

Eleanor Elizabeth Kendall Seabolt, of Dahlonega, Georgia passed from this world on Monday, November 5, 2012.

At her side and to the end, angels - her loving husband and daughters - helped her fight a courageous battle for life. While in the end the battle was lost, victory still prevailed. The strong principles and values she possessed will live on in the legacy of those left behind. She was a lifelong homemaker, devoted wife, and loving mother and nana. Eleanor loved helping and watching things grow. From flowers and vegetables to children and grandchildren, she possessed the greenest of thumbs. She experienced - and shared - a life well lived.



Eleanor is preceded in her heavenward journey by her parents, Mark H. and Mamie Stover Kendall; brothers Clyde, Clent, and Herbert Kendall; brothers-in-law Clarance Crenshaw and Truitt Bagwell; sisters-in-law Erma Calhoun Kendall and Oakley Kendall; sons-in-law Roger D. Bryan and Enoch Hicks; grandson Jeff M. Bryan.

Seabolt; daughter Lawana Bryan, daughter and son-in-law Gina and Scott Masters; stepdaughter Brenda Hicks; grandchildren Blake and Erin Masters, Dustin Masters, Ashley Bryan, Rick and Michele Carney, Eric and Toni Hicks, Brett Hicks, and Mark Hicks.

Bagwell; brother and sister-in-law J.B. and Drucilla Kendall; sister and brother-in-law Hazel and Harold Collins; sister-in-law Ethyl Kendall; and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
