William Donald “Don” Seagrove was born to Carl and Mattie Lou Seagrove in Pulaski, TN. He loved learning as is shown by his numerous degrees; two BA degrees from Mississippi State, a MPA from University of Tennessee, MBA from Mississippi College, and a law degree from Jackson School of Law.
He worked for UMMC as Wage and Salary Admin, IHL as Personnel Director, and later at UMMC as director of Human Resources. After retirement, he worked as a substitute teacher for Clinton Public Schools and Madison County Public Schools. He was a people person. Everyone from janitors to doctors were welcome in his office and treated equally and fairly. He loved working with middle and high school students and was every teacher’s favorite sub.
In 1974, he married Patrice Graves and would have been married 50 years this coming June! They made their home at Lake Lorman and raised their three children.
Don was baptized into the Church of Christ at the age of 12. He faithfully attended Twin Lakes Baptist Church for over 40 years.
At Lake Lorman, he served on the home owners board several times and was the president of Lake Lorman Utility District. One of the things he was most proud of was getting a fire station built at Lake Lorman/Lake Cavalier, where he also served as a commissioner on the fire district board.
He is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife Patrice Graves Seagrove, sons Christopher (Joni) of Pulaski, TN, Stephen (Katie) of Thompsons Station, TN; and daughter Tristan Seagrove of Madison. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Macy Seagrove, Cooper Seagrove, Kendall Seagrove, Gavin Seagrove, Kinsley Dugger, Aiden Harris, and Asher Harris.
