Selma Virginia (Hanson) Crowder, 87, of Easton, Maryland passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at Bayleigh Chase in Easton.

Born on November 30, 1932 in Chestertown, Maryland she was a daughter of the late Oscar and Laura Nicholson Hanson.

Surviving Selma are two sons Robert C. “Bob” Crowder and Glenn S. Crowder (Jo Anne); granddaughter L. Hayley Crowder and several nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death besides her parents was a sister Annette Hanson Embry.
