Beverly A. (Munson) Selmek, 70, Yuma, AZ, formerly of Minot, ND, passed away unexpectedly at her home in AZ. Bev was born on October 23, 1954, in Minot, ND, the daughter of Arthur and Berliot Munson. She attended Minot High School and later attended Minot State University. Bev worked for Ward County Social Services for a number of years and later retired. After retirement Bev enjoyed spending time with and caring for her husband, Patrick Gaery. Due to Patrick’s health concerns they moved to Yuma, AZ where they purchased a home.

Bev loved to bake Christmas goodies and decorate sugar cookies. She enjoyed the desert heat and her fruit trees. Bev was a kind and generous person with an infectious spirit, warm personality and loving nature. She was a loving sister and aunt. We will miss her dearly.
