Selma was much loved and an inspiration to all who knew her. She worked hard and did her best in all she did, a wonderful cook and craftsperson. She was well known for her quilting, a founding member of the MCC Quilters, working on quilts until only weeks before her death. Those of us who were close to her are thankful to Tabor Home for the loving care the staff gave her during her last weeks.
