Jeannie Seely, the legendary country singer, has d**d at the age of 85.
She passed away on Friday, at Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, Tennessee, due to complications from an intestinal infection, her representative confirmed to PEOPLE.
Seely had been facing serious health issues throughout 2025. Earlier in the year, she underwent multiple back surgeries to repair her vertebrae, followed by two emergency abdominal surgeries. She also spent 11 days in the ICU and battled pneumonia.
Her death comes just months after she lost her husband, Eugene Ward, to cancer last December.
