CHARLES CITY, IOWA - Ima Jean Dixita (Freeseman) Sellers of Charles City died Wednesday evening, December 21, at the Floyd County Medical Center with her family by her side after a courageous battle with cancer.
At her request, no service will be held; however a Celebration of Life gathering will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Friday, December 23, at Fullerton Hage Funeral Home, 401 Blunt St., Charles City.
Jean Sellers was born on January 7, 1938, in Parkersburg to William and Evelyn Freeseman. Her parents were dairy farmers in Greene for many years, which explains Jean's love for the outdoors and exemplary work ethic. She graduated from Green High School in 1956.
Later, she made her home in Charles City, where she raised her family. Her interests revolved around her family, gardening, baking and especially helping others, which included the annual Juvenile Diabetes trail ride pioneered by her brother, Butch Freeseman. She devoted much of her time and energy as a caregiver to her family members, especially her beloved grandchildren.
Jean is survived by her sisters and brothers and their spouses, Darlene Freeseman Enabnit and Ross Enabnit, Butch Freeseman, Evonita Freeseman Dahl, and De Laine and Jane Freeseman; three daughters and two sons and their spouses, Deb (Dave) Beaver, Dale Sellers, Cindy (Randy) Stephenson, Michael (Mary Ann) Setters, and Kimberly (Tim) Johnson; several nieces and nephews; and 13 grandchildren and seven great- grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Evelyn Freeseman, and her brother, Gordon Freeseman.
The family wishes to extend special loving thanks to Hospice of North Iowa, Floyd County Medical Center, Pastor Ron Stein and Karen, and Father Carl Ries, along with everyone who offered heartfelt wishes and prayers over the last year. Memorial gifts can be sent to Fullerton Hage Funeral Home.
