Anne Tucker Seay
April 19, 1923 – October 3, 2019
Ann Tucker Seay, 96, of Richmond completed her life’s journey on October 3, 2019.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Louis Porter Seay Jr. and two brothers. She will be remembered with love by her daughter, Jeanne Seay Hamm (Robert); two grandchildren, Tracy Littell (Justin) and Christopher Hamm (Lindsay); one great-grandson, Simon and one nephew William Tucker.
Ann was known for her cheerful optimism, kindness and passion for life-long learning. She was the daughter of a Methodist minister and was an active member of Bon Air United Methodist Church for over 50 years. A graduate of Emory and Henry College, she was employed as a bank teller, followed by a 20-year career as an elementary school librarian at Robious Elementary School in Chesterfield County. After retirement, Ann was active in the Richmond Weaver’s Guild, the Richmond Story Telling League, and the choirs and women’s circle at her church. She discovered a love of clay sculpture at her Cedarfield residence, and enjoyed swimming regularly until age 93.
In lieu of flowers, please honor Ann’s memory with a random act of kindness for a stranger or someone in need.
A memorial service to celebrate Ann’s life will be held at 10:30 a.m. on October 12 at Cedarfield Fellowship Hall, 2300 Cedarfield Pkwy, Richmond, VA.
I will always remember Anne. She always had a smile on her face
Part of my love of books came from Mrs. Seay. I remember her reading us stories as the librarian when I was in kindergarten (1980). The way she taught us to admire the pictures as they went along with the story…even commentating on how the illustrators chose the colors. She truly made an impact on me.
