Most of her gardens were so attractive they could have been shown for public viewing during garden week. She was a wonderful hostess and a great southern cook. Her family as well as many friends enjoyed her hospitality frequently. Selma also was a wonderful First Lady at the companies where her husband was president. She was also a member of First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks.
Selma was a kind and beautiful lady with a gentle and sweet spirit. She will be so missed by her family and friends.
