Athleen "Nan" Seburn

SERVICES ARE PRIVATE

Athleen Seburn, age 96, of Newport News, Virginia, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2026, with
her loving family at her bedside at Riverside Regional Medical Center MICU. Athleen, best known to
all as "Nan," lived her 96 years on her own terms with a fiery spirit. She was unapologetic and never
shied away from speaking her mind, yet she would give you the shirt off her back and was just as quick
to cook a huge homemade meal, always making sure your belly was full. More than anything, she took
the greatest pride in helping raise and love all of her grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by many cherished family members and dear friends.

She is survived by her daughter, Debbie Hester and her husband, Rick; her grandchildren, Dawn Maxon and husband, Paul, Deanna Peterson and husband Ralph, and Abigail Hinson and husband Brandon; her great-grandchildren Amanda, Tyler, Brody, Cash, and Cole; and her great-great-grandchildren Silas and Eliana. In addition, she leaves behind many loving
family members and friends.

A very special thank you to Rose Potter, who became more than a
caregiver over the last five years - she became family. Her love, patience, and constant presence
brought Nan comfort and gave the family peace of mind. We can never thank her enough. Her
interment will be private, followed by a private family gathering celebrating her life with all of Nan's
favorite recipes.
