Ralph Sosebee Obituary
His wife, Anne Cooper Sosebee, preceded him in death.
He is survived by his sons, R. Edwin Sosebee Jr. and his wife Lynn T. Sosebee of LaGrange, Richard A. Sosebee and his wife Virginia T. Sosebee of Oakland, Miss.; daughter, Jane S. Buchanan and her husband Stefan J. Buchanan of Marietta; four grandchildren, Jaclyn Lee Sosebee, Andrew Cooper Sosebee, Cole Marie of Crest Butte, Colo., and Cason B. Durand and her husband R. Scott Durand of Covington; and one great-grandchild, Cope Buchanan of Covington.
After finishing West Fulton High School, Ralph entered the navy serving as a photographer during the final years of World War II. He returned to work as a photographer for the Atlanta Police Department and WAGA TV before opening his own studio in Grove Park. In the early 1950s he left the photography profession to pursue interest in real estate, eventually opening his Real Estate and Residential Development/Construction business in Mableton. His active career in developing land, building homes and selling real estate is illustrated by the many homeowners he has assisted during the past 58 years.
Ralph maintained a hobby interest in photography and enjoyed visiting and fishing the coastal waters around Panacea, Fla.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Nov. 29, at 10 a.m. at Davis-Struempf Chapel in Austell with Dr. Randal Whitten officiating. Interment will follow at Sawnee View Memorial Gardens in Cumming.
