Elbert was born on April 7, 1939, in Lamesa, Texas, to Raleigh and Nola Seal. After graduating from high school and getting married, he began his career with the Internal Revenue Service, where he dedicated his career until his retirement in 1994. He ultimately settled in Arlington, TX.

Elbert held a deep passion for gardening and flowers. He actively participated in the Arlington Men’s Garden Club and served as its President for many years. He had the gift of growing and nurturing any plant or flower he encountered. Elbert’s gentle and compassionate nature, coupled with his infectious smile, endeared him to all of his friends and family. He loved deeply and delighted in sharing his love of plants with all. His absence will be profoundly felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A service to celebrate Elbert’s life and the love he shared with others will be held at Wade Funeral Home in Arlington, Texas, located at 4140 West Pioneer Parkway, Arlington, Texas 76013, on Tuesday, January 23rd, at 11:00 AM, with a viewing at 10:00 AM.

Though Elbert may be physically absent, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew him, and his memory will be cherished for generations to come. As we mourn the loss of our wonderful husband, father, and grandfather, we take comfort in knowing that he has found eternal peace, and his mind is now restored in the loving presence of our Lord and Savior.
