It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Evelyn Gloria Selman on Saturday, April 11th, 2026 after a lengthy battle with bile duct cancer.

Mom was born and raised in Georgetown, Guyana. She later immigrated to the United States and then to England where she married our father Peter Laurie Selman before settling and raising their daughters, Deborah and Jacqueline in Toronto, Canada.

Evelyn was a hard-working, devoted mother who did her best to provide for her family and herself. A natural seamstress, she had a flair for fashion and would often make beautiful dresses for her girls when they growing up and also for herself.

Deeply faithful, she was a long time contributor to St. Jude’s Association. She had a love of music, movies and live theatre and a great sense of humour.

She is predeceased by her parents Charles and Ursula and siblings Hector, George, Ismay and our father, Peter. She is survived by her loving daughter, Deborah and son-in-law Kraig who guided her through her cancer journey, daughter Jacqueline, her sister Lucille, nieces Barbara and Claudette, great nieces Tamara and Tracy and nephew Darren.

Evelyn will be greatly missed and we are rejoicing in the fact that she is at peace in the Kingdom of Heaven and her suffering is over. She will be forever loved.

At this time we invite anyone who is able to join us on Friday, April 17th for a memorial service celebrating Evelyn’s life at Meadowvale Funeral Center, 7732 Mavis Road, Brampton, On. Viewing at 11am-12pm. Funeral service 12-1 pm, followed by burial.
