Obituary For Shirley Seabrook
Funeral services for Shirley Seabrook, 67, of West Columbia, SC will be held 1:00 p.m. Sunday, January 10, 2021 at Magdalene Christian Church Cemetery with Pastor Cynthia Johnson officiating.
Borrowing a line from Alice Walker’s novel, The Color Purple, is how we choose to share glimpses of Shirley’s awesome journey. Anyone familiar with the story can recall the line in which one of the characters commented, “it upsets God when you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it,” – it is important for us to understand that God placed special things here on earth as a way of pleasing mankind. That same sentiment holds true for Shirley in that it upsets God when someone does not take notice of her infectious smile, warm personality, generosity, and genuine regard for others. Shirley Ann Seabrook was a wonderful woman who was loved, now missed, and always cherished by the many people whose hearts she touched.
Growing up in rural South Carolina, Shirley experienced the same particular problem as many other “baby boomers” in the Carolina Low Country, in that her birth name, sir name, and date of birth were recorded incorrectly with the county’s Office of Vital Records by the attending mid-wife. Upon learning this as a teenager, Shirley decided to change her middle name from Ann to Denise, mainly because she thought it made no sense that people in authority could not correctly document something as simple as an individual’s identification. Thus, from that day forward, she became Shirley Denise Seabrook, a woman determined to right a wrong, while demonstrating the highest level of character and integrity that would define her amazing life journey as an “in-charge” individual, educator extraordinaire, daughter of the King, wife, mom, vintage collector, fashion and wig designer, master crafter, prophetic voice, jewelry-smith, entrepreneur, gardener, baker, truth-teller, and an all-around good person. Shirley’s story began on January 28, 1953, the fourth daughter to Ivory and Lily Bell Daniels Seabrooks in the Bull Pond community of Allendale, South Carolina.
When Shirley was still Shirley Ann, she spent her childhood “growing up” in Martin, South Carolina, where she worked the fields, became a baptized member of the Magdalene Christian Faith Church, and attended the local schools. The family later moved to Appleton, South Carolina, where Shirley graduated from Allendale-Fairfax High School. It was there, that she made many childhood and lifelong friends, one in particular, Annette. Shirley was very proud to be an A-F Tiger and a member of the Class of 1972. After high school, her spark of interest in fashion and creative design led Shirley to attend the Fashion Institute in Jacksonville, Florida to further seek her passion. High school is where she also met her childhood sweetheart. They later married, and she became the proud mother to the late Larry Preston Smith, Jr.
Shirley was renowned for her flare, southern hospitality, cooking, and baking skills. Everyone always knew they would have plenty of homemade delicious food to eat while visiting Shirley and the Seabrooks family. She was an avid baker of biscuits, sweet potato pies, and fruit cakes, a craft in which she perfected as time waned. We all remember with such joy the many, many pans of hot biscuits coming out of the oven. While field work was definitely not Shirley’s thing, she endured farm labor as hard as the best of them and later used those skills to perfect her love of gardening. Her recent collard greens and favorite vegetables proved to be a bountiful harvest this winter.
Shirley received her Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Master of Science in Computer Technology at Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina, where she also served as Classroom Instructor and Resident Director. Shirley was also a classroom teacher in the Allendale County Public School System, where she was affectionately admired by her students and colleagues as she mentored so many young people along the way. She valued the importance of an education and encouraged young people to strive for their best and to pursue their goals. She later moved to Huntsville, Alabama, where she served as a military spouse and Property Manager for a local apartment complex. It was in Huntsville that she met the anointed Pastor Patricia Corbitt, who became her best friend and Sister-in-Christ, sharing and teaching God’s word and participating in the Thursday “Prayers on the Wall” Prayer Line. Shirley also attended Bible Way Church in Columbia, SC. Her prayer partners extend the continent as she has, over the years, brought many to pray this prayer: “I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life.” According to Romans 10:9-10, “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.” Shirley constantly shared this scripture as a fundamental guide and importance to believers seeking a relationship with God. Shirley’s ministry had no borders nor walls, as she witnessed one to another, practiced the laying of hands, relied on her spiritual gifts, and prayed for so many with whom she encountered. Her servant-leader mentality and thirst for truth, as promised in God’s word, demonstrates her powerful, commanding voice as a dedicated witness for His kingdom. She often shared her testimony proclaiming God’s deliverance and healing of her body. Shirley spent a number of years living in Tulsa, Oklahoma and from there to Richmond, Virginia, where she amassed a welcoming solid group of friends who have richly blessed her life spiritually and mentally, as she has maintained contact throughout the years.
Upon leaving Richmond and returning to South Carolina, Shirley worked faithfully as an Accounts Manager at Graybar Electric Supply in Columbia, until deciding she wanted to work as an independent consignment retailer. Shirley had many successful years as an entrepreneur and licensed retailer at the Barnyard and Metro Flea Markets in the capital city, selling vintage clothing, jewelry, and “Designs by Shirley”, one -of - a - kind specialty items created by her. She was a regular vendor at featured community events such as the Bridal Expo, Jewelry Extravaganza, annual Holiday Craft Fairs, and Allendale Spring Festival. She was most accessible to her numerous and loyal customers who valued her fairness and commitment to service. Shirley was famous for her customized denim products, vintage jewelry and watches, purses, household goods and, more recently, face coverings and masks. She often featured items on Let Go, Etsy, Craigslist, and other web -based online options. Shirley and her partner Andrew also started a very successful residential warehouse -storage auction bidding company that is still going strong today. Everyone knew Shirley loved to travel with family and friends to visit and cruise the Caribbean Islands, as well as trips to Myrtle Beach and Charleston, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, Washington, DC, New York City, and the Hamptons. She always looked forward to the annual family gathering at Edisto Beach each 4th of July. The family would spend a week each year relaxing there and enjoying each other’s company, which was considered the best because they shared so many happy times together. If there was anywhere Shirley loved to be with her family, it was definitely at the beach house on Edisto Beach.
Shirley entered into eternal rest on Friday, January 1, 2021 at the Lexington Medical Center.

Hey My Favorite 3rd Auntie, It's me, your niece Lakonda again. I am sitting here at work thinking about you today. It is now October the 21st 2021 and there is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking of you. As I am at work looking up at your picture I was thinking about all of the great and positive things that you have taught me over the years. Everyday actually gets easier and easier, because I know that you, Grandma, Bosabb, Pres, and Ebony are having a great time laughing with Nooda and the Family and that is what keeps the smile on my face! It's hard to feel down about the passing of someone whom was so lovable and positive while they were here on earth. Because I know that you are even more lovable than ever now! People often say that "she's at peace", but I say you were always at peace while here on earth, because you had such a peaceful spirit. Kiss my sister Ebony for me and tell Tupac hey, I Love You and Miss You so much Auntie, and don't worry, your sisters are not getting on My Uncles nerves:)) Love You, your niece Konda:)

There is not a day that goes by that we do not miss hearing your voice or witnessing acts of your kind spirit. Hard to get use to this new reality. While things are quite different, we hold close to God's promise and draw strength from the many memories He has allowed and are most grateful. We continue to be thankful and trust God for allowing friends and family's ongoing support as we rely on their offer to shoulder a hug, smile and unwavering love through grief and healing. The Family

My Dear Friend and Sister Shirley Girl..memories of you and the sound of your voice and laughter has flooded my thoughts all week leading up to this day of celebrating your 68th Birthday. It's still as though you are here in the flesh. The other night, I either had a dream or was reminencing a conversation in my sleep that we had had. Memories of our trip to Myrtle Beach keep coming before me and how you welcomed is to SC. We were all so impressed at your generosity, hospitality and love shown to us, BUT! I was not surprised b/c I knew that was your loving and giving nature. It came so naturally for you, although youk knew most everyone in the group, there was one friend of mine who came that you didn't know, but got to know very quickly 😄. You left a lasting impression on her as you did with everyone. Shirley, I miss you so much, your family and friends misses you very much. Together, we will hold on to memories, conversations, photos, your smile and laughter, memorabilia, gifts that you gave and, yes, instructions or commands! As you would say, "Just Trust Jesus, He is the only One that will never, ever, fail you." Shirley, we are doing just that, because we still don't know "why" you had to go so soon. We will trust that God has all of the answers concerning our lives and that only He will bring those answers to pass. Family be encouraged this day, hug 🤗 each other, say I love you, be there for each other and as Shirley would say, "In the Mighty, Mighty Name of Jesus." Love you all and BLESSINGS. Patrica Corbitt💕 Love you always Shirley Girl.

We give thanks and blessings to our Lord and Savior for lending us this beautiful family Ms Shirley Seabrooks for a season. It's not our will but let his will be done that we honor such a precious soul as apart of the bereaved family. Many will say many kind words about her life but those that really knew her and had the opportunity to spend quality time with her knows she was truly an ' "Earth Angel" sent from heaven. I can only speak for myself about the genuine and sincere love she had for everyone who she came in contact with. She had an indescribable passion and love for God's people and her family. Everyone she touched will always remember her loveable soul and spirit!! She will be sorely missed but never forgotten and I pray those that knew her will help keep her spirit alive. I love all my family and only wish we use God's plan to make us better and those around us better. Life is so precious and priceless so we must use Shirley as an example how love is suppose to be. God has decided to bring her home because he had more important work for her to be done in his Kingdom. KMiT247 1Luv! Sincerely, Anthony Fullington and Family

With much love your cousin Carl Polite Sr.!

My dear family please know that comfort comes and hope abides. I know this is hard but there's one thing I know for sure, When our loss fills us with sorrow and tears express our heart's deepest feelings-God's comfort comes.Remember when you reflect on Shirley's life and the wonders of heaven- hope abides and the promise of seeing her again. I'll always remember the day she gave a box of jewelry just because. That's who she was and I'm so glad to call her cousin. I will always treasure that gift. I pray that God's peace will be with you always.God bless,Lottie

Sending our condolences to the Seabrooks Family. We are reflecting on the life of our wonderful sister Shirley Seabrooks. She was such a joy to be around, full of life, laughter, a person that loved her family and friends. She had a smile that would light up the darkest room. We must not forget that she dressed as a Queen and you knew that when she entered a room; the Queen had arrived. She will always be a Queen in our hearts. The most important thing of all is that Shirley loved the Lord and our prayer is that her life's journey will inspire others to impact the Kingdom in a positive manner as she did. Because of Him We Live, The Mosleys (Ray and Odean)

Ms. Shirley as I would affectionately call her. Was such a beautiful woman and soul. I met her many years ago and I was so sad to learn of her passing. One thing I know for sure, she has her beautiful wings. What a BEAUTIFUL lady who was my friend. May peace be with her family and special friends. Angela Solomon- Williams

It ain't over until God says it's over. God has spoken, let the church say Amen. Heaven couldn't wait for Shirley. Indeed God said, "well done, my good and faithful servant." Family and friends, Shirley life wasn't invain. Now it's time for her to reap her heavenly rewards. Be encouraged! Love,Janet

Shirley came into my life, one night while I was working late, alongside my friend, Marilyn. From the desk where I sat, I could hear Marilyn laughing and talking and occasionally calling Shirley by name. The closeness and love in their voices was apparent. Marilyn told Shirley that she was working late with her co-worker (friend) Lanetta. At that moment Shirley pulled me into the conversation, treating me like family, too. In a beautiful, caring and spirited voice, she instructed us to be safe and not stay too late. This was the beginning of a friendship. Shirley's kindness, generosity, caring and loving personality was limitless. Over the nearly five years that I have known Shirley, she graciously gave many gifts, including designer outfits that I continue to wear today, along with other tokens of love. On one occasion, I arrived at work to find that Shirley had sent me a beautiful birthstone ring for my birthday. My point is that Shirley is always giving without looking for anything in return. Her kind and giving spirit is unmatched, and I can only pray that she realized it was appreciated. I was blessed to meet Shirley in person at the family reunion in 2018. In addition to her kindness, generosity, caring, loving, spirited personality, she was stylish, fun and an awesome cook. Her homemade biscuits and barbecue chicken were among my favorites. I know Shirley was loved and she'll be missed by everyone who knew her, including me. May you rest in peace and enjoy the rewards that heaven has stored up for you. Your friend, Lanetta

Shirley was an extremely special person and unique person and cousin who always made a point to tell me at the end of any of our conversations that she loved me. She always reminded me of her mom, aunt "Lill" who always took time out for me and I really enjoyed and looked forward to spending the night at her house, that feeling of family was special, that was Shirley through and through. God's taken home an Angle. Gerald Patterson

With our deepest sympathy to the Seabrook family. Shirley was our flea market family. Such a beautiful person inside and out ! She touched the lives of so many customers that came through the years. We became close friends because our tables were near one another. Shirley was always so giving and sharing of her food and in the cold months, warm clothing to stay warm. Always looking out for the next person. We definitely learned a lot from her beautiful spirit. She is truly going to be missed at the Barnyard Flea Market, with her infectious smile and her stylish beauty! Love, Pat and Pat Falcone

On behalf of the Fenton Family in Washington, D.C., we want to express our deepest and heartfelt condolences to the Seabrook family during this difficult period. We did not know Shirley, but we know her darling sister, Marilyn, very well. If Shirley's character was only a fraction of Marilyn's, it stands to reason that Shirley would have been loved and admired by us too. With what the world is experiencing and the loss of Shirley, there is no more important blessing that one could ask for than the love of family couched in a strong faith of our maker. We pray that God will keep you and continue to bless you.

In the eye of every storm is a blessing. Shirley was saved, truly saved, and she shared Jesus everywhere she went. Not only in word but in action through her love and kindness towards man.

Shirley was one of a kind, indeed with a kind soul. Her untimely death brought profound sadness to my heart. I will miss sharing daily devotions with her. I met Shirley through Marilyn over 20 years ago. I instantly recognized that she was a mover and shaker. My most fondest memory is our girl's trip to the Hamptons. To meet Shirley's fashion needs, she shipped several very large boxes (a little boutique) ahead of her arrival date at the Hamptons' house. Indeed our 5 days there was a major fashion production for every theme night and an absolute memorable event. To the family and friends, be encouraged, as Shirley will live on in our hearts. Love, Janet Robinson R.I.H.P my sister!

Oh Shirley, I just heard of your passing and I'm devastated. You were the sunshine on a rainy day! I'll never forget you and Sandy coming to my brothers visitation over 4 hrs away from Columbia. I'll never forget all the lunches you cooked for us when we worked @ Graybar together. The meals you cooked at my house for all of us too. I remember you coming to visit after us after I had Hayden. You were a true friend. I'm so sorry COVID kept us away from each other this year but glad we were able to talk/text recently. I am forever grateful for our friendship. Heaven gained an true angel and I miss you so much already! My thoughts and prayers are with your family! I LOVE YOU!!! Love, Stacey Carelock (Jamie & Hayen too)

To the family of Shirley A. Seabrook I extend my deepest sympathy for your loss. I believe if Shirley could speak to her siblings and friends. She would say, If you could see where I have gone, the beauty of this place and how it feels to know you're home to see the Savior's face. To wake in peace and know no fear, just joy beyond compare, while still on earth you miss me yet, you wouldn't want me there if you could see where I have gone. RBE

"Sisterness", "Sisterhood", "Sister-Friends", and "Sister-girls" are just a few of the endearing terms that define what sisters have and share with one another. The special-ness of the bond and relationship is 'Extraordinary' and deeply engraved in the heart. This space and place that Shirley occupies in your heart will remain, although she will not be here with you physically. In the moments, days, and weeks and times to come, You and your family have this Blessed Assurance that "The Lord, your GOD is with you, wherever your grief and heartache take you; HE WILL COMFORT YOU". Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". He can be touched with our hurts and we can Trust Him to Help. Love you dearly, Robert and Annie Mott (Fort Washington, Maryland).

Word can't explain how much I will miss you but I will cherish our memories and all our daily conversation and text messages. But most important the word of God that we studied and the prayers; S&E Fellowship will continue because we grew together and our last conversation you told me that God said, hold fast to Psalms 121 because it's going to come a time I will need it and now is the time. I love you and miss you but what a beautiful Angel God call home. Sleep Peacefully my Sister until we meet again. As we always end our conversation Love you Sis 💔 Ernestine, but you called me "Stine"

To know her, is to love her. When you see her, you were greeted with a big smile and her famous saying ' hey cousin give me kiss'. She will be remembered for her unique style and fashion. I would always say , I love your vintage look and she would say Thank You, I Try. All my life I NEVER heard anyone said she talked about anyone or entertained others doing it. If she couldn't help you , she wouldn't hurt you. The last two years,me and Kaylx were closer to her for some reason. Kaylx would say that's My Girl. She could find anything you need or looking for. Just ask her, and she will find it. I be like , where she's able to find this stuff. I had all intentions on getting her to find me some cowboy boots for my classmate birthday theme party,so now Lakonda Bing that's Sarah's job ( I had to laugh,wanted to lighten up the mood). In my mind she will always be remembered as the sweet,loving, stylish,good nature,vintage looked cousin. Who's heart was as pure as gold.

Shirley, my best friend and sister in Christ, it will be difficult not hearing your voice, having those conversations that we could only share with each other, but I know you will be listening in the Spirit. I will feel your Cheers as you are with that "so great a cloud of witnesses." Your prophetic voice, wisdom, prayers, encouragement and love will be missed on the Pray-ers on The Wall prayer Line. I love you, Shirley Girl, looking forward to that Great Day, when we will meet again. BLESSINGS and PEACE TO THE FAMILY, Shirley was a Jewel, as you already know. Pastor Patricia Corbitt, Huntsville AL.

God plucked a beautiful flower from His garden. My wonderful friend , I feel is gone too soon. I know she is at peace. She always made me felt like a part of the Seabrooks family. Shirley was a caring and sharing person. We had many great experiences together as friends and classmates. Shirley truly will be missed by the Class of 1972. Blessed are they that morn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4
