Angelyn Marie Lucido-Seymour

Angelyn Marie Lucido-Seymour, 68, was born in Monterey, California, on October 27, 1957, growing

up and attending Monterey High School. Known for her generous heart and desire to help

others, Angelyn went on to study social work at Sacramento State University. It was in

Sacramento that she met David H. Seymour, who had recently left the United States Air

Force and lived in the same apartment complex. Soon after, they moved in together at the

Paradise Apartments, beginning an unwavering commitment to each other that led to their

marriage on August 1, 1981.

Angelyn and David moved to Fremont, California, in 1981 and later made their home on

Applewood Street in November 1984. Throughout these years, Angelyn faced the long-term

effects of type 1 diabetes, which she had been diagnosed with at age nine. She received a

kidney transplant and lost her eyesight in 1983, but these hardships did not deter her. She

deeply wanted to become a mother, and on March 16, 1993, Donovan C. Seymour was

born at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, California.

With the support of her loving father, Ernest A. Lucido, Angelyn and David raised Donovan

in Fremont. Though their means were modest, they did everything they could to provide a

warm and loving home. Type 1 diabetes remained a challenge throughout Angelyn’s life,

and she spent more time in hospitals and doctors’ offices than most people do in a

lifetime. Even so, she remained strong and continued to show up for her family. The passing

of her father was especially difficult for her, but she always made time to lay flowers at his

grave in Monterey.

Angelyn loved her pets and had many throughout her life, including her dogs Nikki, Huffer,

Rosie, Ginger, Sally, Gracie, Bolo, Babygirl, Dinky, Ringo, and Jager, and her cats Bensen

and Simon.

After several years of searching, they found a home in Marina, California, in July 2024.

Angelyn loved being back near the ocean and close to family. The home became a refuge

from the busy, hectic life they had had in Fremont and a place to gather friends and family

for celebrations. Beginning in November 2024, Angelyn experienced health complications

that led to multiple hospital visits. On July 14, 2026, she passed away peacefully with her

husband and son holding her close. She was deeply loved by her family and by the

communities she was part of, and she will be remembered for her strength through years of

medical hardship, her devotion to those she loved, and the thoughtfulness and kindness

she showed to everyone.
