∼YVONNE MARIE CIARLO SELKE
February 12, 1957 - March 24, 2015
Beloved daughter, wife, mother, friend, colleague, mentor, and unstinting volunteer. Yvonne was a Pennsylvania native and grew-up in Springfield Township where she was a graduate of Springfield High School. She was a 1979 graduate of Gannon University, from which she obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. While at Gannon, she enrolled in ROTC, was a George C. Marshall Award recipient, and was subsequently commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. She served her country in a number of increasingly important positions, both here and abroad, attaining the rank of Major before opting for an early retirement to raise a family in 1992. Her military decorations included the Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, National Defense Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, and Armed Forces Reserve Medal. After military service, Yvonne joined Booz-Allen and Hamilton as a consultant, and worked at the National Geospatial-intelligence Agency up until her untimely demise while on vacation with her daughter in Europe. She is survived by her mother Julia of Springfield, PA; husband Raymond, of Nokesville, VA; son Trevor of Richmond, VA; brother Felix of Fairfax Station, VA, and brother Jeffrey of Springfield, PA. She was predeceased by another brother, Montie, who had resided in Cranston, RI, as well as her father Felix Ciarlo Sr. and step-father James Kilgallen, both of Springfield, PA. Yvonne's unwavering love, kindness, affection, and charity will be sorely missed by all who knew her. A Memorial Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 12975 Purcell Road, Manassas, Virginia at 11 a.m. on April 22, 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Fisher House Foundation.

A Germanwings passenger plane crashed in the French Alps Tuesday, killing all 150 people on board. At least three Americans were on board the plane. The State Department announced that two of those killed in crash were Yvonne Selke and her daughter Emily.
Identified victims were Yvonne Selke of Nokesville, Va., an employee for 23 years at Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. in D.C., and her daughter, Emily Selke, a recent graduate of Drexel University in Philadelphia. The U.S. government did not identify the third American it said was on the plane.
Yvonne Selke performed work under contract with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon's satellite mapping office, Booz Allen and the Defense Department confirmed in statements.
"Every death is a tragedy, but seldom does a death affect us all so directly and unexpectedly," NGA Director Robert Cardillo said. "All of us offer our deepest condolences and will keep her family and her colleagues in our thoughts."
Booz Allen's chief personnel officer, Betty Thompson, described Selke as "a wonderful co-worker and a dedicated employee who spent her career with the firm."
Victims of Germanwings Flight 9525:
Passengers from at least 15 countries were aboard the flight from Barcelona, Spain, to Düsseldorf, Germany, including 72 Germans and 35 Spaniards.
