Cynthia “Cindy” Ann Seeley, 71, of Middletown, Virginia passed away on Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at Lynn Care Center in Front Royal.
Cindy was born on July 19, 1951 in Laconia, New Hampshire to the late Richard Dixey and Shirlee Dawson. She was also preceded in death by her brothers Arthur Dixey and Roger Dixey. She had a zest for life, chocolate, ice cream, learning, serving others, and being with loved ones. As a young woman, she joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and her relationship with Jesus Christ would define the remainder of her life, where she could always be found looking to find the one in need.
After growing up in New Hampshire, she moved to Rexburg, Idaho and went to Ricks College before transferring to Brigham Young University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in education. This was the start of a lifelong passion of teaching, and any person who met Cindy could share something she taught them at church, seminary classes, or in her many ministering visits.
Cindy married her soulmate, Rick Seeley, on August 22, 1974. They formed a beautiful family of six children that has expanded to six spouses and 21 grandchildren. Her family was the center of her life, and she loved them wholeheartedly. She made it a point every year to gather everyone together at the beach to share experiences and love, a tradition that everyone cherished. To her family, the sand of the beach will forever be associated with Cindy.
Surviving Cindy is her loving husband of 48 years, Richard Seeley; her children, Chris Seeley (Alisha), Stephanie Wickliffe (Kenny), B.J. Seeley (Ashley), Randy Seeley (Lisa), Tom Seeley (Maddie) and Stacia Bowers (Danny); her siblings, Geoff Dixey (Pam), Cheryl Elkington (Keith) Mimi White (Seely) and Donald Thompson; her 21 grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held on April 29th, 2023 at 10:00am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at 230 Justes Drive, Winchester, VA 22601.

So very sorry for your loss Rick. We have so many fond memories of times we spent with you and Cindy – eating out, playing tons of card and board games, attending Scitor functions, our New England trip and our epic trip to Ireland to name just a few. Cindy was a wonderful, caring woman and a great friend who will be sorely missed. During this very difficult time we hope you find some comfort in the memories of all the wonderful times you shared together over the years.
This angel got her wings. I hope you’re having a big spaghetti dinner Sis! Love, Mim and Seel.
I’ll miss her smile, cheerfulness, humor, kindness, cookies & understanding. Heaven is an even better place because of you. Farewell till we chat again, good friend.
To my dear sister, as you embark on this homeward journey, ride on the wings of angels for you lived a life deserving of a peaceful journey. Love Geoffrey & Pam
