Philomene Seymore Obituary
Philomene Seymore, 97, passed away May 11, said her daughter, Patricia Lofland.
Seymore was a community fixture, living on 15th Street since 1960 at a home around the corner from Antioch Church affectionately called "The Compound," Lofland said. She was a watchful eye in the neighborhood and was famous for her Creole cooking and pies.
"She was the community," her daughter said. "She eventually became Momma Seymore to everyone else."

Sis Seymore was a great lady and a wonderful friend. Loyal church member until her health prevented her from being active. I will miss her very much. I admired her a lot. Rest in peace and thank you for the memories.

What a blessing it was to recently have met and have prayer with Mother Seymore. She acknowledged and was excited to exercise prayer. Thank you, Evangelist Patricia Loftland for sharing of your mother. Condolences from myself and St. Luke Holy Baptist Church.

Mommy Seymore was the center of communication in the family. She always said "Once you are in the family You will always be in the family" She is now in a better place.
