Lillian G Seymore

Lillian G. Seymore (Curtis), born in Coldwater, Tennessee on November 12, 1936, peacefully transitioned to her heavenly home on July 28, 2024. She leaves behind a loving family and a legacy of generosity and kindness. Lillian completed her undergraduate studies at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, and earned her master's degree in teaching from Governors State University in University Park, Illinois. She married her college sweetheart, and their union lasted nearly twenty-five years. Lillian dedicated most of her career to teaching within the Chicago Public School system where she also served as an Equal Education Opportunity administrator. After retiring from the Board of Education, she began a notable tenure as the fair housing testing coordinator with the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law, markedly aiding in the decrease of housing discrimination in the State of Illinois. A long-time resident of Chicago, Illinois, Lillian spent her most recent years in the Atlanta, Georgia area. She had a passion for life, cherished her family and friends, was always ready to listen to anyone who called, was an active member of the Carrousels, Inc., enjoyed finding a good bargain, relished her visits to the casino, and found great comfort in listening to traditional gospel music. Preceding Lillian in death were her parents Fred Curtis and Carrie Frances Love Curtis, her brothers Dr. Charles Curtis, M.D. and Leo Curtis, and her sisters Louise Jones and Mattie Ruth McNeal. Lillian is survived by her two daughters, Melanie Mowery and Kimberly Seymore, her beloved granddaughter, Aubrey Seymore, her son-in-law Dan Mowery, and many dear nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives. Lillian was loved by many and will be deeply missed. Her warmth, generosity, and dedication to making the world a better place will be remembered and celebrated by all who knew her.
