Elizabeth (Ann) Pomykal was born in Abilene, Texas on August 6, 1943, to Richard Henry (Daddy Richard) and Norma (Sunshine) Berry Taliaferro.

Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Denton, Texas, where her father was a prominent businessman owning several businesses throughout many years located on the Denton square.  The downtown square was Ann's playground as a child.  She knew every store owner and would hop from store to store both playing and asking if she could help in any way.

As a young girl Ann and her brother, Richard Henry Taliaferro Jr, (Dickie) contracted polio. They spent many days and nights traveling back and forth to Scottish Right in Dallas (Rumor has it she was the only child to ever escape, yes to be found) for polio treatments.  It was this grueling battle she endured and ultimately conquered that gave her the desire to help people with disabilities for the rest of her life.

Post polio, Ann returned to Denton to TWU Demonstration school and thereafter attended Denton public schools. Ann attended TWU and the University of North Texas. While at North Texas, Ann met and married Dwain Pomykal and had two wonderful boys, Parker and Preston.  In addition to Parker and Preston, Ann was "mom" to many of their friends as well.  The boys were raised in her home in Lewisville Texas.

In 2000, Ann met and married David Seymour, a fellow employee at Texas instruments. Ann was very proud of blending their two families of six children and eleven grandchildren.  Her favorite times were those spent with family, and she loved planning and serving Holiday festivities for all. She was notorious for telling you exactly what to bring so that everything would be organized. These events were often joined by close friends as well, and it was here that Ann was at her happiest.

After leaving Dallas, Ann spent the final 20 years of her life in Corinth, Texas very close to her two son's families and her two nephews Bart and Jay and their families.  Ann and Dave were often seen at soccer games, band recitals, dance recitals, and any other event where their grandchildren were. If her grandchildren were there, Ann wanted to be as well.

Her public career began as a member of the Lewisville city council. Ann was elected mayor of Lewisville in 1985 where she led a team to many accomplishments for the community.  Ann's tenure as a councilwoman and Mayor lasted for just over 10 years.  She was a pillar in the community and that opened the door for her to move into corporate business.

Her professional career began at Texas Instruments as the local leader for state and community affairs while migrating over time to TI corporate to Lead the TI Foundation. Ann spent nearly 30 years with Texas Instruments, and it was there her influence was felt beyond the walls of North Texas.  This influence was predominantly tied to the United Way and Boston College.  It was recently shared that today there are still nearly 50 programs Ann served/created/supported still in existence today.  Some key areas Ann focused on were: K-12 education statewide, STEM programs statewide, community colleges. University of Texas Dallas, Domestic Abuse, Homelessness and food security for those in need.  She also supported the arts and culture world in Dallas with major support of the Dallas Symphony and the Perot museum being two of her most memorable projects to help with.

In addition to mentoring 100s of people from both internally at TI and externally with local non profits, Ann taught public affairs and company foundation principles at Boston College for over a decade to corporate executives from all over the globe. It was here her legacy spawned beyond the borders of the United States.  One of Ann's favorite points of recognition was her acceptance into Leadership Texas, an organization supporting Texas women in leadership positions.

Ann loved traveling with her husband Dave, and they took many adventurous trips around the world. She enjoyed the many hours flying across the country in David's airplane. Her favorite pastimes were reading and making bouquets of flowers from the many flowers around their home.

Ann was preceded in Death by her two parents and her Brother, Dickie.  Dickie was the world to Ann and she honored his love until her final breath.  Dickie is survived by his two sons Bart and Jay and their families.  Jay and his wife Angela were like children to Ann often visiting for dinner, card games, or any other excuse to make sure Ann was okay.

She is survived by her husband David Seymour, his four children Julie, Matt, Beth and her husband Chris, Jon along with grandchildren Chandler, Harrison, Nolan, Ethan, Emily Layla.

In addition, she is survived by her oldest son, Parker Pomykal, his wife Sydney their son Parker Jr and daughter Presley; and also survived by her youngest son Preston Pomykal, his wife Holley their Son Pierce wife Lexy, their son Paxton wife Julia, their son Porter fiancée Tristan.
