Naoma Roundy Seely
1924 - 2019
Early Life: Naoma was born September 8, 1924, in Provo, Utah, to Clayton and Lyda Parcell Roundy. Her childhood was happily spent on her family’s ranch near Wallsburg, Utah, in beautiful Heber Valley. She graduated from Wasatch High School.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: She attended Brigham Young University, where she studied business and art. On December 30, 1949, Naoma married Rex Dean Seely; they later divorced. Together they had three children: Greg, Karen and DeAnn. As a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Naoma enthusiastically accepted any calling and going above and beyond to serve and edify. She was everyone’s favorite Primary teacher. A highlight of her life was her mission served at the Washington D.C. Temple. She loved her Savior, Jesus Christ, with all her heart. Her faith in Him never faltered. Naoma was a talented seamstress who meticulously made gorgeous clothing for herself, her children, her grandchildren, and even their dolls. In midlife, she took up oil painting, producing breathtakingly beautiful, prize-winning works. Her family cherishes these masterpieces. She adored her garden and spent many hours there—so many that her neighbors playfully called her “the midnight gardener." Her tiny yard was often described by visitors as the Garden of Eden. Every leaf and petal was precious to her. She mastered patio gardening, producing plentiful tomato crops that she was delighted to share. She was a whiz at word games, routinely besting her competitors at Words with Friends. She will be remembered by friends and family for her selflessness, elegance, intelligence, clever wit, patience, meekness, kindness, positivity, and love. Naoma Roundy Seely, of Provo, Utah, passed away peacefully at Utah Valley Hospital on December 8, 2019. She was 95.
