Frank Mason Seay

Frank Mason Seay, age 76, of Oviedo, Florida, passed away peacefully Tuesday, October 26, 2021. Frank was born December 17, 1944, in Birmingham, Alabama to his loving parents Thomas Seay and Margaret “Elizabeth” Slater Seay.

He grew up in Birmingham, Alabama graduating from Shades Valley High School in 1963. He continued his education at the Georgia Institute of Technology where he received a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1967. On June 12, 1967, he started his 36-year career with Proctor and Gamble at the Mehoopany, Pennsylvania Plant where he was a Technical Engineering Group Leader.

In 1968 Frank and his future wife, Judy, met at Proctor and Gamble and enjoyed a rapid romance, marrying within six months. They immediately started a family and had a wonderful journey of fifty and a half years. Frank transferred to Perry, Florida to the Proctor and Gamble Buckeye Foley Plant where he held various positions from Forestry Engineer to Capital Cost Technology Supply Manager and Engineering Supply Manager – Wood Prep.

The family relocated to Perry in 1980 making it their home for twenty-eight years. Through the years Frank kept himself occupied with family, woodworking, bird watching and genealogy research. The draw of family and grandchildren brought Frank and his wife to Oviedo in 2008. There was no greater love than that he had for his family. The year 2014 brought about big changes for the family as his wife was diagnosed with cancer and Frank dedicated all of his efforts to make his wife as happy and comfortable as she could be. He combined their love of birds and his passion for woodworking, creating many beautiful carvings of their favorite birds.
