Daisy Seymore of Water Mill died on November 30 at Southampton Hospital. She was 78.
Born on June 3, 1930, to Daisy and John Lindsey of Currituck, North Carolina, she worked during her high school years to help support her family.
She married Arthur O. Seymore on June 2, 1951, and 10 years later the two moved to Southampton.
Ms. Seymore worked at Rowe Industries in Sag Harbor for a few years until she found employment as a nurse’s aide at Southampton Nursing Home, where she worked for more than 20 years, retiring in 1996. Survivors said this week that she is still remembered as a wonderful nurse’s aide; everyone she came into contact with loved her and she will be greatly missed.
Also an avid gardener, alongside her husband she planted and grew flowers on the couple’s Water Mill property. The stand was visited by many, family recalled, buying assortments for weddings and other events like the Hampton Classic Horse Show, but mainly for the love and care of each and every beautiful flower.
