October 10, 1929 – January 24, 2026.
A long road walked with grace. Nearly a century of seasons, stories, kitchens full of laughter, worries carried quietly so others didn’t have to, and love handed out in steady, everyday ways that hold families together.
Selma’s smile in that portrait feels like it still belongs in the room, watching over everyone, reminding them to eat, to laugh, to keep going. Some people never really leave. They settle into memory, into habits, into the way a family speaks and loves. They become the roots.
May her name keep living in stories told at tables, in the lessons she passed down, and in the strength she planted in all of you. Rest gently, Selma. Her work here was done with care, and it shows.
