Alma and her husband Robert Lauvray built their life together in Centerville, OH, building their first home and raising their 3 children. Alma was a homemaker, Girl Scout leader, and member of Incarnation Church. She and Bob built their second home on Norris Lake, Speedwell, TN and retired there. She enjoyed hiking, boating, cooking, and crafting. After Bob passed away, she met her second husband "Jack" Wallace and together they volunteered for Habitat for Humanity building homes and working at the donation center. She was a very active member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, and as a fundraiser for the Pregnancy Help Center. Her greatest joy was being a Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother and lived for being involved with family. She will be forever missed.
