Coreen Mae Selberg, 77, lifetime Grays Harbor resident, died December 13, 2024 at the Bee Hive Retirement Community in McCleary, WA.

Coreen was born on August 11, 1947 in Aberdeen to Donald & Margaret (Gibb) Austin. She graduated from Aberdeen’s Weatherwax High School in 1965. She then attended Grays Harbor College and graduated with an Associate of Arts.
