Selma Chubin, of Bethesda, passed away on March 30, 2022.  She was 86.

Selma was born in 1935 in Philadelphia to the late Minnie and Manuel Parris.  She graduated from Olney High School in 1953, after which she worked as a legal secretary.  She met her wonderful husband, Herb, at a synagogue dance, and they married in 1960 and had two daughters.  The family moved to Yardley, Pennsylvania, in 1972.  After the children were grown, Selma worked with Herb in a couple of businesses and then found her calling in telephone sales, working for nearly twenty years at Lenox China.  In 2011, Selma and Herb moved to Bethesda, Maryland, to be closer to their grandchildren.

Selma was an active member of Shir Ami in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and a founding member of Congregation Kol Emet in Yardley, Pennsylvania.  In 2014, Selma and Herb became adult b’nai mitzvah at Congregation Beth El in Bethesda, and Selma greatly enjoyed being a part of their chavurah at Beth El over the last several years.

Selma is survived by her devoted husband of 61 years, Herbert Chubin; daughters, Marlene Chubin and Ellen Chubin Epstein; son-in-law, David Epstein; and beloved grandchildren, Max and Abigail Epstein.

The funeral was held graveside on Friday, April 1, at 1 pm, at Montefiore Cemetery, 600 Church Road, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania.
