She loved sewing, crocheting, cross stitching and quilting, which she did until she lost her sight.
Ray and Selma’s greatest joy was their family and raised their children with love and worked hard to make sure they had everything they needed. When their children were grown, the grandchildren became their number one priority. They both had the biggest, kindest hearts ever. Always room for one more!!
