<div itemprop="description"><br />Erna Selman<br />February 18, 1921 - November 24, 2015<br /><br />Erna passed away peacefully on November 24, 2015 into the arms of her Lord at the Rotary Hospice in Richmond B.C. She will be sorely missed by her children Norm (Reatta), Gay (Larry), Bob (Lil), Jim (Pat), as well as her grandchildren Laura (Wayne), Greg (Heather), Kirsten (Mark), Russell (Darcie), Sarah (Kelly) and great-grandchildren Dustin, Jessica, Brittany, Jared, Jennifer, Jacob, Seth, and Calla. Erna was born in Wilhemssorgen, Germany to Robert and Teofile Peters and emigrated to Canada in 1928. She is survived by three of her five siblings, Liz, Freda, and Ernie. Erna married Norman Selman on November 8th, 1939 and had 62 years together before Norman passed away in 2002. They moved from Ontario in 1944 to Cloverdale, BC and then to Richmond in 1946, where they stayed. Erna was an avid reader, loved camping, growing flowers, knitting, sewing and chrocheting Christmas angels. Her special mission outreach was crocheting sweaters for needy children in Africa. Erna also taught Sunday school and ESL classes at Trinity Lutheran Church where she was a founding member. We will miss her dearly. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Erna's memory to Trinity Lutheran Church, the BC Cancer Foundation, or a charity of your choice.</div>
