Great Grandma

My Great Grandma, Marjorie Barton Selk, passed away yesterday afternoon. I am her oldest Great Grandchild and was able to spend a lot of time with her when I was a child. The funeral is in Canada, so I won't be able to make it unfortunately, but I will be thinking of her and remembering her great life. I've always been very impressed with my Great Grandma because she had 10 children! She was such a hard-worker and lived a difficult life, I'm sure full of long hours. I've heard stories that she'd stay up late at night, sewing clothes for her children. She was an excellent seamstress. The last few years of her life she's struggled with alzheimer's disease. I know I'll see her again after this life restored again to a perfect state. I look forward to that with my hope and faith in Christ.

This is an old picture I have of my Great Grandma, with her first 4 children. My grandma, Joan, is the oldest child, on the right.

These are my Great Grandparents as I remember them from my own childhood. Grandma Selk is in the middle.

We had a family reunion celebrating my Grandma Selk's posterity in August 2009. There are still lots of people missing from this picture, but you get the idea. It's a big family!

This shows our five generations with my mom, grandma Joan, Tessie, myself, and my Great Grandma.
