Gemini Pro Sketch
The following biographical sketch was produced using artificial intelligence and may contain mistakes.
Selma Charlotte Beyda was born on November 14, 1922, in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Irving Beyda and Sara Newman. She attended Manley High School in Chicago. In 1940, at age seventeen, she married Raymond A. Beyda in her hometown. Raymond, born in Aleppo, Syria, in 1907 or 1908, owned Halsted’s Linen and Baby Shop and was later a part-owner of a retail baby wear and linen store. Their early married life unfolded as the United States navigated the conclusion of the Great Depression and the onset of World War II. The couple had four children: Marleen, born in 1942; Sandra, born in 1944; Alan, born in 1948; and Irwin, born in 1949, all in Illinois.
The Beyda family eventually relocated to Florida, joining the significant post-war migration to the state. They established themselves in the burgeoning communities of South Florida. The family faced a profound loss when their youngest son, Irwin, a sergeant in the U.S. Army’s 9th Military Police Company, 9th Infantry Division, was killed in Vietnam on February 28, 1969, at the age of 19. He died from mortar fire at the Dong Tam base camp, having volunteered for an extension of his duty. This tragedy placed the Beydas among the many American families deeply affected by the conflict in Southeast Asia.
Raymond A. Beyda died in Miami-Dade County, Florida, on July 1, 1980, at 73. He was buried in Lakeside Memorial Park and Funeral Home. Selma Charlotte Beyda continued to live in South Florida, residing in Pembroke Pines. She passed away on January 21, 1994, in Pembroke Pines, Florida, at the age of 71. Her burial took place on January 23, 1994, at Lakeside Memorial Park in Miami, alongside her husband and son. At her death, Selma was survived by her three children: Marleen Putman, Sandra Schreier, and Alan Beyda, as well as her sisters Minerva Seruya and Evelyne Sumner, and seven grandchildren.
