Alma enjoyed cooking, lively conversation, entertaining friends and family, music and dancing. Alma’s habanero BBQ ribs are not to be forgotten.

If anyone had the privilege of visiting them at their home, you would hear Louis tell the same stories over and over again which would frustrate Alma to no end. Alma’s famous line was “LOUIS” nobody wants to hear that story over and over again!!

Most importantly, Alma was a dedicated and baptized servant of Jehovah since 1958. She also served as regular and auxiliary pioneer for many years. She died a faithful servant of Jehovah. Alma was always present at the house of Jehovah.

Alma always had a soft spot for children. She and Louis had 3.
