Rosetta was born the first twin to Frank & Nellie Perriman in Colorado Springs, Colorado on February 11, 1924. The Perrimans lived most of their lives in the Fountain Valley area and had a popular orchard and farm east of Fountain.
 Rosetta and her twin sister, Ruth, graduated from Fountain High School just two days before Rosetta married Olen Selby in Pauls Valley, OK on May 20, 1943. The family resided in Fountain, Colorado for many years before moving to Norman, Oklahoma.
 
She worked for 28 years as a Nurse’s Aid at Griffin Memorial Hospital in Norman. After her retirement, Rosetta lived in Kimberling City, Missouri with her daughters’ family and operated “Grandma’s Daycare” in the home for many years. Over the years, she “raised” 16 children from birth to school-age. Recently, the family re-located to Tulsa.
Mrs. Selby was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Nellie Perriman; three brothers, her husband (of 42 years) Olen, and her two sons, Ronnie and Donnie Selby.

Survivors include her twin sister, Ruth Dickson, of Fountain, Colorado, her daughter and son-in-law, Olena & Larry Majewski of Tulsa, Oklahoma; niece Cheryl Puckett of Fountain, six grandchildren: Rhonda Minyard of Waco, TX, Brenda Pierce of Norman, OK, Brian Ranger of Knoxville, TN, Shelena Guettermann of Broken Arrow, OK, Janna Selby of Tulsa, OK and Sandy Selby of Kansas City, MO; and two sisters-in-law.

She loved and was proud of her seven great-grandchildren, as well as several nieces and nephews.
Rosetta was a devoted Christian and recently joined Bethany Free Will Baptist Church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
She loved children, enjoyed caring for others and was an excellent cook.

Because of her love for children, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Bethany’s Children’s Ministry or to Trinity Hospice who cared so lovingly for her.
