Colleen Anna-Reginia Seely, entered Eternal Life on December 4th, 2022. She was born at Ft Bragg, NC, on December 20th, 1986, to Thomas and Karen (Minikel) Seely. She spent her childhood and early teen years traveling the United States and Germany, with her military family.
Colleen is survived by her beloved daughter, Chrissy; her mother and father; her brother and sister, Matt (Kellie) Minikel and Katie (Wes) Lloyd. She was the much loved Aunt of Kyle, Elise, Jacob, and Leslie; cherished niece of Terri, Chris (Heidi), John (Jodie) and Michael Minikel. She is also survived by many cousins and godparents, Margaret and Larry Jacks; her dearest friends, Angela, Tia, Crystal and Lori; and fiancé, Ryan D. Bennett.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Red (Katie) Minikel; Aunt Mary; grandma, Judy Seely and Glen.
To know Colleen was to love her. She loved fiercely and unconditionally. If you were blessed enough to be loved by her, you felt like the luckiest person in the world. Spending time with her daughter, Chrissy gave her the greatest joy. They had the most fun riding around town, making videos, and shopping. She was her parent's sweet little "Bubba." During the last months of her life, she found a kindred spirit in Ryan, who brought out the best in her.
