Joe Seaborn

Six Mile, SC

Joe Seaborn, originally of Six Mile, South Carolina, moved to his heavenly home on Wednesday, October 27, 2021. He joins his wife, Betty, who passed in 2015. Joe devoted his entire working career to two companies; Woodside Mills in Liberty, South Carolina, and Clemson University where he worked in the forestry department. He teamed up with his faculty mentor, Dr. Leland Sheneke, to help develop a new hybrid of cyprus plant, called the “Leland Cyprus;” a plant sold internationally at major stores such as Lowe’s and Menards.

He and wife, Betty, attended the Mt. Olivet Wesleyan Church in Six Mile, S.C., and contributed to the church in areas such as custodial care, cemetery maintenance, and financial contributions. Joe led congregational singing at the church and played the guitar. Joe was very devoted to his own parents and attended them almost daily when they were housed in the Harvey’s Love and Care Home in Six Mile.
