Mary Ethel Seymour: May 7, 1948-Nov. 6, 2026

Mary Ethel Seymour, known to everyone as Cherry, and as Mimi to her beloved grandchildren, fell asleep in death on November 6, 2026. Throughout her life, Cherry was a loyal and faithful Witness of Jehovah, whose strong faith guided her in everything she did.

Cherry was born on May 7, 1948 in San Antonio, TX.  She was an alumni of Harlandale High School.  She worked as an optician for a few years in Kerrville and later served as head of housekeeping for several oil company-owned ranches in the area. While she took pride in her work, her greatest joy was raising her three sons.

Cherry was a devoted mother, grandmother, wife, sister and friend.  She was also a source of endless fun, adventure and laughter to everyone who knew her.  She had a love for life that was contagious.  No matter the occasion, she could turn ordinary moments into unforgettable adventures.  The grandchildren especially loved her version of ‘Mimi’s Summer Camp’ that included road trips, theme parks, lake days, beach trips and anything else that looked like fun.  These stories are still being told and laughed about by her now grown grandchildren.

Preceding Cherry in death were her parents, Elo and Audrey Wimberley, brothers David with wife Nelda and Michael, along with many other cherished relatives.

Surviving Cherry is her loving husband of 61 years, Randy; son Aaron and wife Jenna, son David and wife Sara, son Blain and wife Rachel; ten grandchildren, Hailey and husband Travis, Caitlyn and husband Andrew, Taylor and husband Brandon, Kayla, Jayde, Caden, Oliver, Phoenix, Avery and Ethan; five great grandchildren, Ashton, Rowan, Raiden, Peyton and Hagan; one sister, Millie and husband Jerry.

Always ready for a road trip and the next adventure, Cherry traveled to many special places throughout her life, including Yellowstone National Park, Sequoia National Park, Disneyland, Disney World, Key West, the French Quarter in New Orleans, ski trips to Colorado, countless visits to Ruidoso and two or three trips a year to Port Aransas.  She also enjoyed a beautiful trip to Hawaii with her Mom.  Her ultimate adventure was a three month trip to Australia.  She loved it.

Cherry was deeply loved by her family, friends and all who knew her.  Her kindness, quick wit, adventurous spirit and genuine love for people left a lasting mark on so many.  She will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
