Lucille Selman, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 25, 2026, at her home in Amarillo, Texas, at the age of 80.
Lucille was born on November 20, 1945, in Magdalena, New Mexico. She lived a life devoted to her family, her church, and her community. Her greatest joy was supporting her children and grandchildren in all of their activities and cheering them on every step of the way.
Lucille will always be remembered for her beautiful, contagious smile and her unwavering work ethic. She dedicated more than 35 years to Elliott Russell Office Supply, later Office Wise, where she served as manager until her retirement in 2015.
Her kindness, generosity, and compassion left an enduring impact on everyone blessed to know her. Lucille was a devoted member of Bolton Street Baptist Church for more than 33 years, where she served faithfully in many capacities.
Her dedication to her community was just as remarkable. Over the years, she served in numerous community organizations, held several leadership positions, and received many awards recognizing her time, service, and commitment. Among the organizations close to her heart were the Amarillo Women’s Network, Soroptimist Club of Amarillo, where she was involved for 25 years, and the Amarillo Breast Health Coalition, to name a few.
Lucille’s motherly and grandmotherly love didn’t stop at her own front door—it spilled over to everyone who crossed her threshold. She had enough room in her heart and home for an entire neighborhood of children. To many, she wasn’t just a friend or a neighbor; she was a second mom and grandma.
She didn’t just raise her own children—she helped raise a whole community. Her maternal heart knew no boundaries. The love, wisdom, kindness, and encouragement she shared so freely will live on in all of us.
Lucille was preceded in death by the love of her life, Ira G. Selman; her son, James Justin Selman; and her son-in-law, Donald Moreau.
She is survived by her children: Boone, her favorite “Lil Boy”; Lodena Moreau; Pam (Jay) Lane; Gaylon (Jackie) Selman; and daughter-in-law Tanya Selman.
She is also survived by her grandchildren: Wesley (Andrea) Johnson, Ryan (Jessica) Johnson, Skykar Lane, Lauren (Brock) Mellinger, Lacye (Christian) Morris, Leighson Selman, Langstyn Selman, Carrie Brittain, and Tracie Selman.
Her great-grandchildren are Courtney Johnson, Crystal Johnson, Carly Johnson, Chance Johnson, Michael Beard, Atticus Johnson, Ryleigh Johnson, Lillian Johnson, Stefen Selman, Brenden Selman, Harper Brittain, Kalini Brittain, and Marshall Dean (coming soon).
Her great-great-grandchildren are Daveon Johnson, Kaden Beard, and Daylon Johnson (coming soon).
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Gentiva Hospice for the loving care and support they provided to Lucille and her family.
Special Thank You to Kim Barlow for officiating her services.
Lucille leaves behind a legacy of love that reaches far beyond her family. Her smile, strength, generosity, and unwavering love for others will be deeply missed, but the memories she created and the lives she touched will carry her legacy forward for generations to come.
