Selma Williams Foreman passed away December 14, 2024 in Jackson, MS. She was 87 years old. Selma was born in Magee, MS on May 27, 1937 to the late Judson and Sally Warren Williams. Selma was well known in our community for dedication to her faith and service to her church; her creative expressions in the floral designs she crafted and the opportunities she took to serve others. She loved being outdoors and had a passion to grow beautiful flowers. Selma was also a talented seamstress and crafted costumes for the children’s ministry at her church. She was a woman of many talents, to say the least, she reserved her best self for her family and simply adored her great grandchildren.
