Seely passed away on Friday, August 1st, from complications of an intestinal infection. She was 85. Seely had battled health issues since last fall, which escalated in December following the passing of her husband, Gene Ward. She had undergone multiple back surgeries this spring for vertebrae repairs, as well as two emergency abdominal surgeries.
Holding the record for the most Opry appearances in history, Seely banked a total of 5,397 performances before her death.
Instead of flowers, donations in Seely’s name are suggested to a charitable organization that benefits pets and/or to the Opry Trust Fund.
