Severn Mayo

Severn Mayo, a dedicated individual who led a fulfilling life, passed away peacefully at his residence in Voss, Texas on Wednesday, April 3, 2024. He was born on October 14, 1944, in Sherman, Texas. Severn ventured into the oil fields early in his career and eventually became a sales representative for safety equipment at Axelson. His commitment to his work took him on adventures around the globe, including a seven-year stay in London, England. Severn retired at the age of fifty-four after years of hard work.
 
Severn graduated from Coleman High School in 1963. Beyond his professional achievements, Severn was a proud member of the Coleman Masonic Lodge #496, where he recently received his 50-year certificate. He also actively participated in the Leaday Baptist Church community and was a volunteer for the South Coleman County Fire Department and Crimestoppers.
