Carolyn Lunn Seago

Carolyn Lunn Seago, 90, a pillar of the Swift Creek community, passed away on December 5, 2025. Born in Florence, South Carolina on November 20, 1935, to Thomas Bonnoitt and Sarah Catherine Moody Lunn. She was a lifelong resident of Darlington County. She graduated from St. John’s High School in the class of 1953. She attended Winthrop College and graduated from Carolina Commerce College. Carolyn was devoted to the betterment of folks with special needs. Her son, Bryan, benefitted his entire life from the devotion she had to understanding and educating all God’s children, even those needing a little extra help. Her commitment led her to serve on many boards and committees, but none more notable than being one of the founding organizers of The Scott Center in Hartsville. Carolyn was a devoted member of Swift Creek Baptist Church. This is where she raised her children and this is where her heart swelled with joy when she saw her grandchildren and great grandchildren sitting on those pews. There were not many capacities she didn’t serve at Swift Creek Baptist; her life was true example of the shining light of her Lord. Momma, as her children called her, was the matriarch of the Seago family. She and her late husband, James Harrell Seago, had three children. Her son, Bryan, never had children. Her son Darwin and wife Angie had two, Ashley and Jennifer, and her daughter, Dawn (Seago Powell) had one, Katie. Her grandchildren, who affectionally called her Mema, added to her family with Gracie, Colby, Jayce, Kistler, and Emma Jayde. She didn’t have a particularly large family, but to her they were the absolute greatest. She loved them all and they loved her. The Swift Creek Community was her home. She lived there, raised her family there, worshipped there, and will be buried there. Her final resting place will be beside her late husband, Jim Seago, in the Swift Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, near Bryan and Ashley who have already gone to be with the Lord. Monday, December 8, 2025, we will take her to Swift Creek Baptist Church for the final time. Her family will receive friends in the fellowship hall at 2 PM followed by her funeral at 3 PM. Her preacher, Reverend Donald Wallace, will offer words of comfort, and family friend, Stan Thompson, will sing two of her favorite hymns. After the funeral she will make her final journey to the cemetery carried by a few boys who were the joys of her life: Tyford, Rodney, Colby, Jayce, Templin, Timmy, Jason, Tony, and Roddy. We would be remiss if we failed to mention her loving and devoted sister, Jean Beasley. The two of them shared a very special lifelong bond. You are welcome to send flowers if you wish or if you prefer, we suggest you make a contribution in her memory to Swift Creek Baptist Church (413 N Center Rd., Hartsville, SC 29550) or to the SC Disability and Special Needs (714 E National Cemetery Rd., Florence, SC 29501) Matthew 25:21
