Arthur Donald Seale of Lacombe, Louisiana passed away on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at the age of 88.

He was born on October 27, 1936, in Tupelo, Mississippi to Charles Arthur Seale and Lois Christian Seale.  His family moved to New Orleans, Louisiana when he was just a young boy where he met his one and only love of his life, Melba Wiggins Seale.  He, being the love of her life, has always been her cherished beloved, "He-Art, my HEART".  From the beginning of their life together, he was always a gentleman at heart as he would walk her to school carrying her books and enjoying her friendship.  A man who dearly loved his family, he was known to be a wonderful, selfless, Christlike inspiration to all who knew him.  He also spent much of his time watching Through the Bible with Les Feldick, studying the Bible, and talking about scripture.

Art proudly served in the Army National Guard of the United States and the Army National Guard of Louisiana for many years.  Art and Melba were married in 1959 and moved to Metairie, Louisiana, where they raised their three children.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Arthur Seale and Lois Christian Seale; sister, Barbara Seale Barreca; daughter, Donna Seale Graffagnino; and son, Arlen Daryl Seale.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Melba Wiggins Seale; son, Arthur Donald Seale, Jr. (Pamela Seale); six grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren (with two more on the way and one embraced in heaven).
