Beverly Claire Seeley (1948-2022)
Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Wife, Daughter, and Friend
Beverly Claire Boll Seeley entered the eternal light of her heavenly Father August 19, 2022. Bev, also known as BCB, was born in Kodiak, Alaska, June 28, 1948, and was a longtime resident of Pensacola/Cantonment, Florida. Having great compassion for taking care of others, she was a registered nurse for thirty years. Bev’s church family was very important to her, and she was a beacon in the women’s ministry. She was an avid reader who extended her love for books to her church through establishing and operating the Central Chapel library. She also enjoyed painting, gardening, horseback riding, and traveling, especially to the Great Smoky Mountains, and she shared her love for the outdoors with her children and grandchildren. Bev’s light and spirit touched all she met, and she was a devoted wife, mother, and daughter of Christ. She loved all animals, especially horses and cats, and she had a particular fondness for speaking to them. She holds a special place in the hearts of many lifelong friends including her extended family.
Beverly is preceded in death by her mother Margaret Elizabeth Whitney Boll, her father Richard Lee Boll, her sister Elizabeth “Betsy” Frazier, and her loving husband Samuel Earl Seeley, to whom she was married for thirty-nine years. After becoming a widow in 2020, she lived with her daughter Elizabeth “Lisa” in McCalla, Alabama. She is also preceded in her passing by lifelong pet companions who brought her joy and whom she shared unconditional love, including Delilah, her beloved cat for twenty-two years (1999-2021), and Tuffy, her first pet and beloved childhood cat (1952-1962) whom she celebrated on “Tuffy Day” held on October 3rd every year.
Bev is survived by her daughters Elizabeth Brazelton (Marc) and Katherine Robinson (Lee), her sons Jimmy Milburn and Dean Seeley (Kristi), her brother Richard “Tiger” Boll (Cheryl), and grandchildren Max, Grant, Nicholas, and Lily Brazelton; Hunter and Brandon Robinson (Wendy); Harrison, Conner, and Mere Kasen Seeley.
A Life Celebration will be held for Bev on Sunday, September 4, 2022, at 2:00 P.M., Central Chapel Worship Center, 405 Beverly Parkway, Pensacola, Florida.

Hard to say how many are there, looking across the field. Billions I’m told, beyond and counting. Each with its own appeal. But one that stands out, above the rest, the most beautiful horse I’ve seen! She illuminates, spreading love and kindness. To us all, she is the queen.
What words could be said or stories be told, to tell of her love and fame? For just like our God and His creation, she gave everything a name. At first her dolls, then family pets, then her bike. But it did not stop there. Soon each car that she ever owned, was named with loving care.
Growing up as child, her love for horse became obvious for all to see. Kids on her back, she’d whiny and snort, giving rides on hands and knees. That was the beginning, of the character she formed, and for a lifetime last. Throughout her life, she carried so many and even taught us to eat grass!
The world is a much better place because of you sister, my most loving BC. Thank you for all the gifts you’ve given us. Even more those we do not see. You‘ve left us so much and gained even more, now being with the master. As we say our goodbye, please know you will always be …
The Most Beautiful Horse in the Pasture
