Obituary

Leta Selman, 90, nee Kopans, of Buffalo Grove, IL, passed away on October 4, 2024. Leta was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 60 years Abe and her loving parents Bertha and Albert.

She was a doting mother to Bonnie (Marvin) Stamm and Phil (Alyce) Selman and the proudest grandmother to Adam Selman, Pam (Matt) Goldstein, Scott (Carlee) Selman, Elisa Stamm Kogan and Brian Stamm. She adored her great grandchildren Madison, Toby, Abby and Joci.

Leta lived life unapologetically and full of color - her signature green nail polish, blue mascara and purple eyeshadow made every room brighter. She believed in sparkle and the magic of Mickey Mouse.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lupus Foundation of America (lupus.org or 2121 K Street NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20037).
