of Flippin, AR
May 25, 1941 - June 19, 2025
Sammy Lane Seawright, 84, of Flippin, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at his home on the morning of June 19, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on May 25, 1941, in Flippin, Sammy was a lifelong resident of the town he cherished, and a proud member of the Flippin Church of God.
Sammy was a man who believed in working hard and loving harder. For many years, he owned and operated Flippin Auto Supply, where he poured his heart into serving his community and building lifelong friendships over the counter of his parts store. He was a high school graduate and a proud provider for his family - raising three wonderful children alongside his beloved wife, the late Sharon Kay Seawright.
A man of quiet strength and deep faith, Sammy found his greatest joy in his role as a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He adored his grandchildren - David, Shane, Scotty, Rhonda, and Kenny - and his heart lit up even brighter with the arrival of his great-grandchildren: Rebecca and Isabelle, Madison, Sammy II, Hunter, and Riley.
He is survived by his loving children: Brian Seawright, Mary Seawright, and Lisa Best; his sister Carolyn Treat; and his treasured grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Sammy was preceded in death by his wife Kay, his parents Abner Minor and Josie Idella, and his siblings Jr., Tuffy, Wayne, Wanda Smith, and Lola Grace.
Sammy's life was one of devotion - devotion to his family, his work, his church, and his community. He will be remembered for his steady presence, his kind smile, and the legacy of love he leaves behind.
A funeral service honoring Sammy's life will be held Monday, June 23, 2025, with a visitation at noon followed by a service at one in the afternoon at the Roller-Burns Funeral Home Chapel. All who knew and loved him are invited to attend.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of the Ozarks, whose compassion and care brought peace to Sammy in his final days.
Services are in the care of Roller-Burns Funeral Home in Yellville, Arkansas.
