Dorothy (Dot) Seale, age 76, passed away July 29, 2018 at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo, MS. Dot was the daughter of Cator and Christine Hembree and a resident of Pontotoc, MS. She was a Christian, a member of West Heights Baptist Church where she taught Sunday school for many years, and was a member of the Adult Choir and was a featured soloist.
Dot was a 1962 graduate of Ecru High School, where she was bestowed many honors and accolades.
Dot enjoyed outdoor activities, such as tending to flowers and feeding her birds. She was a colorful artist and loved animals, especially her “Perry”. She especially enjoyed singing with the Can-Do-Sisters, Sara Morton and Belinda Young. Dot looked forward to watching “her boys” on the PGA tour, each weekend.
Her greatest passion was her family. She was a devoted wife and mother. Her friendliness and kindness to all people, and her love for her family are a tribute to her heart and soul. Her infectious and inspiring presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to have known her.
