Shelby Seabaugh, a former Ouachita Baptist University student who died in 2014, will
be honored as part of a float in the 2016 Donate Life Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif.
Seabaugh's image will be featured with 59 other memorial floragraphs – portraits made
of flowers – during the parade. Each memorial portrait will honor an individual who
donated organs and tissue. The float's theme will be Treasure Life's Journey.
Seabaugh's portrait will be completed by her family and friends in Arkansas in December
before being shipped to Pasadena for the Rose Parade.
The Rose Parade is held each year on New Year’s Day and is seen by millions of people
from across the United States and around the world.
Seabaugh, a junior Christian studies/philosophy major at Ouachita, was visiting at
home during spring break when she died unexpectedly on March 27, 2014.
Seabaugh is the daughter of Mike and Laurie Seabaugh. Mike Seabaugh, a 1985 Ouachita
graduate, is the pastor of Central Baptist Church in Magnolia.
