Etta Vera Freeman Seago, 93, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, formerly of McComb, Mississippi, passed away on February 3, 2025. She was born on September 23, 1931, in Pike County, Mississippi, daughter of Clarence and Blanche Freeman. Etta Vera was a homemaker and a member of West McComb Baptist Church.

Etta Vera's journey was marked by her deep love for faith and family, serving as a pillar of strength, support and joy. Her greatest achievements were devoting her time to God's work and being a loving spouse, devoted mother, and proud grandmother. She embodied the grace of a true southern lady. Every person she encountered knew they were truly special and important to her. One of her strengths was never meeting a stranger and being able to talk to anyone and make friends wherever she went.
