SEAL, Louisa Virginia "Jenny," our mother, formerly of Manakin-Sabot, died Monday, January 6, 2014, and at last joins her beloved husband of 58 years, Herbert George Seal, who predeceased her in 1994. As husband and wife, they enjoyed life together, and shared a love of music, dance, Bridge and golf.
