She has a strong testimony and served in many church callings. She was blessed with an ability to grow a beautiful garden and flowers. Selena enjoyed traveling with her husband. One of their favorite locations to visit was Yellowstone. She loved nature, especially birds, and belonged to the Utah County Birders. She devoted much of her life to family history work. She also belonged to the Utah County Historical Society. Selena enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest even when lupus forced her to slow down.
