Selma was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Pharr, Texas. She lived in St. Charles but in the winters, she was a Texan. Selma spent the winters in Pharr, Texas. She loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Selma’s most favorite things were fishing and Cardinals baseball.
