William Lewis Sealey's Obituary
Mr. William Lewis Sealey, 89, of Fairmont, NC, died peacefully on Saturday, August 28, 2021, in his home, surrounded by his family.
He was born on May 28, 1932 in Robeson County, NC to the late Duram Durant Sealey and the late Mary Leggett Sealey.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Ferrell E. Sealey, and his sister, Joyce S. Ivey.
William proudly served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Missouri during the Korean War. He began his career in banking at Guaranty Savings & Loan and retired as Vice President of United Carolina Bank (BB&T).
Throughout his life, William enjoyed volunteering in several civic organizations, notably serving as past Master and life member of Proctorville Masonic Lodge #643 A.F and A.M. He was a faithful member of Oakton Baptist Church.
A lover of history, William often served as a community historian and enjoyed collaborating with other family genealogists. Most importantly, he was a loving husband, daddy, and grandpa. He will be remembered for his witty one-liners and his family will forever miss his surprise comedic poems.
William is survived by his wife of 58 years, Barbara Collins Sealey; his 3 children: Amanda F. Sealey of Asheville, NC, Paige Durant Sealey of Charlotte, NC and W. Warren Sealey (Sushila) of Rockville, MD; and his favorite grandson, Bryce Vikram Sealey.
The family extends much gratitude to his dedicated care team: Shauntay, Brandi, Katrina, Rhonda, JoAnn, and Chaplain David.
Due to COVID restrictions, the family held a private graveside service.
