We are shocked and saddened by this tragic loss. Selene was a great friend, a great colleague while we worked at Baxter, and an all-around nice, generous, fun and smart person. She could light up a room with her sharp wit and detailed knowledge... and her dance. She was an excellent speaker, project manager, and just great overall professional.

I cannot tell you how sad the news of her passing makes me. A bright light has passed on. She will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to the entire family.

Where to start. I knew Selene for 4 years, but I truly felt like I’d known her my whole life. I knew we’d be friends the moment we met, even if she didn’t. We laugh so much. We were going to hang out all the time now that she was 5 miles from me. Work won’t be the same. I’m grateful for 4 years… we were meant to have 40 years.

Selene was one of the best supervisors I had the pleasure to work with. She always had a radiant smile for anyone she met, those she worked with, and those who loved her. I have such fond memories of Selene and my many interactions with her. She was always kind, compassionate, and considerate to everyone. She will be sorely missed by everyone, and it saddens me that she is no longer with us. My deepest condolences to her family. She is truly an angel in heaven.

On January 6, 2023, my world was shaken, as I lost one of my closest childhood friends. Selene lit up any room or conversation with her infectious energy and zest for life. To say she will be very missed by her family and friends, is an understatement.

I’ve maintained a friendship with my elementary school friends and a few of us attended Lane Tech high school. I had the opportunity of meeting Selene my Sophomore year, as we were both art majors. We were thrilled to discover when we were assigned classes together. However, the instructors quickly learned seating us next to one another was a disruption to the rest of the class, as our non-stop chatter and laughter was a challenge to contain. Selene became a part of my closest circle of childhood friends.

We’ve maintained that connection through many of life’s ups & downs, including our weddings, growing families, and a sisterhood that continues to this day.
Although I did not have the opportunity to connect with Selene as much as I would have preferred during these past few years, I will always love and cherish the various beautiful memories we share. ❤️❤️❤️

I have had the pleasure of working with Jorge at Grainger since he moved out to the Boston area. In the short time I have known him, it is clear that Selene has been the center of his universe. I am truly shocked and saddened by her passing. My condolences to Jorge and all of his and Selene's family.

To Jorge and the family:

I am deeply saddened by the horrible news. It is truly heartbreaking that we lost such a stunning person. I can still hear her wonderful and amazing laughters….. I worked in Selene’s team at Takeda and a great privilege to work for such a wonderful boss like her. I witnessed how tough she was and how positive she was when she fought again cancer. She always brought joy to any crowds she was around. She was a lovely woman and will be treated missed. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family!

Dear George,
Everyone that your wife Selene touched will fondly remember her. She loved everyone. We will all remember her fondly. I sent you the song El dia que yo me muere because it is a happy song for us to remember her from. It is by Rozalene. She is Spanish like our grandfather was . I remember how she took care of your Dad and that made me love her all the more. She had to have the patience of Job with him. Think that this is not goodbye but until we meet again. Know that you can call me anytime. Your cousin Rose.

As always she always had something sweet to say to me. I last saw her in May at my daughters home Leticia Munoz for my granddaughters graduation. She touched my face and said are you okay? You still look youthful and beautiful. She smiled and gave me a tight hug. Wonderful aunt to my grand daughters and sweet soul. My deepest sympathies to Munoz family as well to all other families on behalf of Mariani family. May her soul rest in peace. I love you sweet lady. Thankful to God for her being in my life. Praying for everyone. Psalm 121.

Dearest friends it pains me deeply that this world has lost one of the most genuine, loving, funniest, most positive people that had ever welcomed it into.
Selene was my landlord for a long time and she was also a dear friend to my husband and so incredible with our son, Henry.
Jorge, there will never be a right thing to say to you, please know the incredible force of this woman that blessed your life will be forever missed, but never forgotten.
No person, to this day can percolate like she could.
With heavy heart.
