Granny Seals couldn’t be here to talk to with you today. As you know Granny wasn’t going to miss a day of work not even for her own memorial service. Vernell Seals was born on October 29, 1934 to Arthur & Silvia Darrough in Wabbaseka, Arkansas. Vernell never had any biological children of her own, but she was blessed to raise so many.
