1939 - 2026
Lucy Verner Seabrook
Charleston - Lucy Verner Seabrook passed away on February 20, 2026. She was a devoted wife, aunt, cousin, and friend to many. She was born in Burlington, NC on May 13, 1939 and moved to Charleston shortly thereafter. A lifelong resident of Charleston, Lucy graduated from Ashley Hall School and was married to Edward M. Seabrook, Jr.
She was a member of St. Philip's Church, the Colonial Dames, and the Carolina Assembly. She was particularly fond of her bridge club of approximately 30 years and the many friends she met through her supper clubs.
We remember her for always talking and laughing, always cooking (the best), and being the greatest aunt, friend, and confidant one could wish for.
Lucy was a talented artist with her many water colors of the Carolina Lowcountry. She will be known for her amazing needlepoint and smocking resulting in many beautiful children's clothes, Christening gown, and stole.
Lucy was preceded in death by her husband, Edward M. Seabrook, Jr.; her sister and husband, Neil and Louis Dawson; and her parents, David and Elizabeth Verner.
Surviving are her three nieces, Elizabeth Dawson Hassell (Fleetwood), Mary Stuart Dawson Sutton (Mike), and Virginia Dawson Lane (Charles); as well as numerous great nieces and nephews.
We are grateful for the support, care, and friendship of Andrew Mack, Jerri McClellan, the staff of Bishop Gadsden and the Roper Hospice Care.
She will be forever missed and always loved.
There will be a graveside service in Magnolia Cemetery on Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 2:00 pm. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. Downtown Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to St. Philip's Church or Bishop Gadsden Retirement Community.

I have many fond memories of Lucy and Edward, especially time spent on the river at Folly...crabbing and swimming off the dock, reading in the porch swing wonderful dinners on the screened porch.
On Christmas Day they would come over to our house and watch the joyful chaos of seven children opening Christmas gifts. They always brought the best present...usually a huge bucket of double bubble bubble gum! It was the best.

Lucy was always so much fun to be with at Pennys house.
She was a faithful member of St Philips Altar Guild. She cheerfully served for decades .

I have such fond memories of my times with "aunt" Lucy during childhood visits but especially as her neighbor on Folly. She was one of the most lively and positive of all people. And her hot pepper sauce and cheese fluffy will go down as legendary culinary gems. May you rest in perfect peace sweet Lucy! Love, from Ann and John Kukze

What a treasure! I loved showing up at Bishop Gadsden three years ago on her birthday with my massage table to give her a massage in her home as I did for so many years before opening the spa. She was one of a kind!

Ms. Lucy´s passing signified the end of an era. So many wonderful memories at Folly where she embraced all with open arms, a warm smile, and delicious Lowcountry fare.
She´s now reunited with Moose and the gang on heaven´s porch enjoying a beautiful sunset on the Folly River.
