Melody Ann Seely went to be in the presence of her loving Savior at 12am on March 9th of 2010. Her years of suffering many physical illnesses and isolation are now ended and she couldn't be happier than she is right now. Melody was very unique, talented, a teacher, a musician, a professional and she was dedicated to everything that she put her efforts, energy, and beliefs to, and she will be remembered as such. Her husband Pat loved her very much and she knew it, and was glad in that. Melody truly was a soul whom the world was not worthy.

NILES - Melody Ann (Spaulding) Seely, 53, passed into the arms of her Lord Jesus on March 9, 2010, in Seattle, Washington, after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Melody lived in the Niles, Michigan, area until she went to Bible College in Seattle where she settled and worked at Boeing for many years. Her husband of 20 years, Pat Seely, survives. He was a loving, devoted husband. She had two grown stepchildren, Ian Seely and Tamara Seely, both of Seattle, who survive. Melody was born June 3, 1956, to Nolan and Virginia Spaulding of Niles, who survive. She is also survived by her brothers, Duane Spaulding, M.D., and Gary Spaulding; as well as her sisters, Trena Johnson and Valli Brandt; and many nieces and nephews. Having taken piano lessons since age 3, Melody traveled in college with a gospel singing group as their pianist. She loved to help people receive Jesus Christ as their own personal Savior. As a teenager, she traveled to Haiti with her parents where the Haitians enjoyed touching her golden blonde hair. Melody was highly dedicated to everything she believed and focused her energies accordingly. She will be remembered for this. A celebration of her life with a remembrance service will be held by her loving family at a later date. We praise God for lending to us the wonderful gift of her life! In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to: Feeding the Nations, P.O. Box 2438, South Bend, IN 46680
