Selma was born May 15, 1908 in Caldwell, Texas to Fritz and Matilda Kaegler Duesterhoft. She was a member of Immanuel United Church of Christ in Needville. Selma loved doing things, whether it was reading or working in the yard, she was always busy. She was an excellent seamstress, making everything from dresses to doing alterations. Selma was happiest when interacting with people. She was a cut throat domino player, even beating her son, 6 out of 9 games recently. Having lived to the age of 101, her body may have failed her, but her mind was still sharp. She was cared for in Austin and was even called upon to give advice to some of the other residents. Known as MawMaw by her grandchildren, she will be dearly missed. She passed away June 24, 2009 in Austin, Texas. Selma is preceded in death by her husband, Howard Eversole; her parents, Fritz and Matilda Duesterhoft; brothers, William, Henry, Ernest and Eldie Duesterhoft; and sisters, Elsie Roesler, Lillie Kueck, Frieda Engelhart, Alma Perkins and Mattie Shodek. She is lovingly survived by her son, Charlie Eversole; daughters, Howard Jean Pace and husband, Jim and Gwen Coker; grandchildren, Stacy Pace and wife, Karen, Terri Rodriguez and husband, Joel, Mark Eversole, Wesley Eversole and wife, Lisa, Matthew Mason, Kimberly Perry, Kristin Champion and husband, Brandon, and Barton Mason and wife, Kimberly; 6 great grandchildren and 6 great-great grandchildren; along with other family and friends.
