Alma was a homemaker and a member of Holy Family Church in Oldenburg. A devout person, her faith and her family were most important to Alma. She enjoyed providing for her family and being an excellent cook, she loved cooking for them. Her roast beef was absolutely delicious and although she shared the recipe with others, they feel she left out an ingredient or two, because theirs just doesn’t taste quite as good. She was also a good baker with the irony being she herself was not a big desert eater. At 94, Alma remained active, driving and exercising right up to her death, which was good because according to her family she loved to go shopping. She also put out a garden yearly, canning and freezing the excess. Alma always wore a smile and her family described her as a grand lady who was emotionally and physically strong.
