Lorraine B. Sewell

Lorraine B. Sewell was married to Vila Lambuth Sewell, (born abt 1900 in Cuba, an American Citizen) that died in 1954, in Fl. Vila's parents were born in Tennessee. Lorraine's parents were born in Missouri; she was also listed as being born in Missouri as of a census.

Lorraine was a school teacher in Florida (Hillsborough Co.) for many years until her retirement.

She and her husband had two children born in Florida; a son, "Jack" L. Sewell(census), born abt 1924 and a daughter, Alice L.(Lee?)Sewell, born abt 1923. "Jack" may have been a nickname of her son. His name was listed on a census as being Aubrey G.(possibly Aubrey Gene Sewell?)

When I moved to Florida in March 1966, Lorraine was my very first friend, as she was my neighbor and landlord. She was very nice and loved my two small children dearly. I will always remember her for her kindness shown to them, my husband and myself while living there next to her near Tampa, Florida, the Seminole Community. She was still teaching as a substitute then.

Death records lists Lorraine B. Sewell as dying in Fort Myers, Lee Co., Fl. She was 85 years old when she passed away. She may have been residing with her son, Jack, or nearby, as I think I can remember her speaking of Jack and his family living there in Fort Myers.
