Sue Ellen Seals, age 74, of rural West Salem, IL left this life, for the next, on Wednesday, June 18, 2014, at Good Samaritan Hospital, Vincennes, IN.
Sue Ellen was born on September 8, 1939 to Howard and Mary Lou (Pierson) Cunningham, in Olney, IL.
She married Eugene "Gene" Seals on July 12, 1958 in Norris City, IL and they have enjoyed nearly 57 years together.
Sue Ellen was a homemaker and lay speaker who thoroughly enjoyed her family; her kids and grandkids were her delight. She also loved to read, and was an accomplished student of the Bible. Sue Ellen enjoyed caring for her flowers and pets. Favorite activities were fishing and conversing with the community as they visited the orchard.
