Sally M. Seely
Sally M. Seely was born in La Junta, Colorado on May 1, 1954 to Domingo and Margaret Ordonez. She moved to Colorado Springs with her family at a young age and grew up on the west side of the city. Sally was active in Young Life youth ministry and accepted Christ as her Savior and Lord. She graduated from Coronado High School and became active in the Baptist Student Union (BSU). At the BSU, she met Greg Seely and they married on June 5, 1976, beginning a 37 year adventure together in the Air Force. Along the way, Sally taught Sunday School, and was active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, mentoring many cadets on their Christian walk. She has two beautiful daughters, Hannah, 22, of Ft. Collins, and Rebekah, 21, attending UNC in Greeley, CO. Outside the home, Sally worked in retail, as a bank teller, and most recently as a receptionist for local schools. She loved to cook and could best be described as a people person with an infectious smile and a passion for children. Sally was taken from us much too quickly on May 31, 2013. A celebration of her life will be held at 10:00 AM. on Friday, June 7, 2013 at the Classical Academy, 975 Stout Road in Colorado Springs. If desired, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association in her honor. She is preceded in death by her parents, Domingo and Margaret and by her son, Caleb.
