Selcke Family,
I knew Mary from TOPS and St. Philomena School. Mary was always ready to give that helping hand. Traveled the city of Chicago on the bus as if she owned it.
Her life was full of many stories and memories for her family, grand children and friends.
Mary arranged for me to met my husband on a blind date, with the help of her son Tom or was it Tom who was helped by Mary. Either way it was it turned out to be good.
Mary was that little person who could tackle any type of job.
"MARY HAVE THAT EXTRA GLASS OF WINE." No questions asked.
Our prays and thoughts are with you during this time of grief. May the Blessing Virgin Mary watch over you during this time of need and always be with you.
Love Always,
Mary and Mike Walker

To Uncles Tom and Jim, Aunts Anne and Kathy, and Dad:
Grandma Mary helped me to remember to dance at weddings, laugh at off-color jokes, and make sure that the men I dated were worthy of my attention. She loved us all and was quick to brag about her family. I will miss her.
