It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Juanell Bessie Sealey, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who left this world peacefully on September 9, 2025, at the age of 95. Juanell was born on March 8, 1930, in Graham, Florida, and spent her life nurturing her family and cherishing the moments spent with her loved ones.

As a devoted homemaker, Juanell dedicated herself to creating a warm and loving environment for her family. She took great joy in being at the farm, camping, fishing, playing the slots and activities that involved her family and her sisters and brothers. Her spirit will forever live on in the hearts of her son Wally Sealey and his wife Cammey, daughter Libby Coker and her husband Buddy Coker, daughter Gail Grant and her husband Rick Grant, as well as her devoted 9 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and one great-great grandson as well numerous nieces and nephews. She cherished each moment spent with her family, teaching them the values of love and kindness, and the importance of togetherness. She was the last living Reynolds from the Frank Reynolds generation.

A celebration of Juanell's life will be held to honor her legacy and the love she shared with all of us. The funeral services will take place on September 19, 2025, at Forest Meadows Funeral home on NW 23rd. Family visitation will begin at 10 am, friends from 10:30am to 11am with services following. Graveside will be E Hawthorne Road in Gainesville, Florida. We invite all who knew and loved Juanell to join us in remembering her wonderful life and the many ways she touched our hearts.

Juanell was preceded in death by her parents Frank Reynolds, Lomie Reynolds, her husband of 62 years Clifford Sealey, Barbara Pennell, her youngest daughter, three brothers and three sisters.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Juanell's name to Haven Hospice House as a reflection of their loving spirit and commitment to giving. She will be greatly missed but forever remembered in our hearts.
