Selma Marie Labas (Seibel)
June 27, 1938- Feb 4, 2017

Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother left this world peacefully on Feb 4, 2017 at the age of 78. She is loved and remembered by her husband of 57 years, John, daughters Donna (Ron), Yvonne (Leo) and son Lloyd (Cheryl) and cherished grandchildren and great grandchildren, Jeff (Clara), Aron and John; Mandy (Daniel); Bradley (Melissa); Nikki (Bryce); Megan (Mike); Brittany (Katlin). Selma’s love for life and family was evident with her passion of gardening, cooking, sewing, knitting, crocheting, dancing and most importantly playing with the grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was kind, caring, generous and a hard worker. She always tended to a large garden, canning and freezing the bountiful produce. She became a fabulous cook and baker and was especially noted for her homemade bread, buns and tortas. Selma had a tremendous amount of energy and if she wasn’t cooking or gardening, she was crocheting and knitting. There wasn’t a task that she didn’t attempt to accomplish and she was never afraid of a challenge. She loved to be surrounded by family and friends, you could stop in any time and the coffee was always on.
The memories that she created will be fondly remembered by all that knew her.
Celebration of her life will be held in Saskatoon on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at
