ODESSA Charles David
Seabolt, Jr., 83, of Odessa,
Texas, died at Medical Center Hospital on Monday afternoon, April 20, 2009, as a result of lung cancer.
He was born May 5, 1925, in Siloam
Springs,
Ark., and he spent his adolescence in the home of his beloved sister and brother-in-law, Cleta and Ralph
Berkshire, in Miami, Okla.
Under their guidance, Charles was baptized into the First
Baptist Church of Miami.
After graduating from high school, he served two years in the U.S. Navy during World War II, primarily in Japan and the South
Pacific. He received a bachelor's degree from Northeastern State
College at Tahlequah, Okla., and his Master's degree from the University of
Oklahoma. After teaching several years in
Oklahoma and Amarillo, he moved to Odessa, where he taught math at
Bowie and
Bonham Junior High
Schools, and was a vocational coordinator in Special Education. He completed his teaching career in the math department of Permian High School.
In 1965, Charles married
English teacher Jane
Beggs. Though not blessed with children of their own, they have been proud and fortunate to have had a significant part in the lives of hundreds of fine young people who now compose the fabric of our society.
Charles
Seabolt is survived by his wife, Jane. Other relatives include a nephew, William E. Ayers and his wife Johnnie Dean of Odessa.
