Shelli Lynne Cervantes

Shelli Lynne Cervantes, age 58, journeyed to her heavenly home on Sunday, February 24, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer.  She was surrounded by her family at her favorite place on earth, her farm in Lorida, FL.

Shelli was born on November 26 ^th , 1960 in Broken Bow, NE to George V. and Donna J. (Walker) Seeger and was raised in Kearney, NE.  After marrying the love of her life, Charles Keith Cervantes of Kearney, NE, Shelli moved to Phillipsburg, KS in 1979 and worked alongside her husband at their business Phillipsburg Glass.  They followed the rest of the family south to Miramar, FL in 1986 where she worked as a licensed insurance agent for many years in the South Florida area.  As an avid horse lover, Shelli’s favorite move was in 1995 where she and her husband found a beautiful farm tucked under a canopy of trees in the warm and friendly community of Lorida, FL.   Being surrounded by her family, her animals and the peace and tranquility of the country was Shelli’s heaven on earth.

Shelli held many titles in her day, but her most cherished ones were that of a loving wife, a comforting mother, a spoiling grammie, a devoted daughter, a supporting sister, a true and loyal friend and a Christ follower.  Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in Jesus supported Shelli in her struggle as she showed everyone how to face each day with grace, gratitude and hope for the incredible future that awaits us all in heaven.

Survivors include her husband of 41 years, Charles Cervantes - Lorida, FL; children: Nathaniel Cervantes - Lorida, FL, Misty Delong (Cervantes) – Port Charlotte, FL; mother: Donna J. Seeger - Spring Lake, FL; brothers: Kenneth (Shannon) Seeger – Coral Springs, FL, Benjamin (Delfi) Seeger – Davie, FL; and sister: Kelli Davis (Seeger) – TN; grandchildren: Meadow Lynne, Paisley Grace; nieces and nephews: Aubrey Lynn Seeger, Lucas George Seeger, Nicholas Alexander Seeger, Lydia Mei-Ling Seeger, Justin Edward Davis, Joshua Aaron Davis.  Along with her father George Seeger, Shelli was preceded in death by one niece: Brianna Seeger.
