In lieu of flowers a gift to the charity of your choice in Alma's name will be appreciated by family and friends.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of her family…she was a great lady and was a friend to everyone.
To the Family I extend my deepest sympathies. I know the last years have been difficult, but your love and patience with Alma’s illness is a testament to family love. I will keep you all in my prayers, for comfort, strength and healing.
Kay and I grew up together and were constantly at each others houses. So Alma was like another Mom. My love and prayers go out to her family, and all those who knew her and will miss her. Dee Lewis
On behalf of the “Clark family across the street” in the old neighborhood, we extend our warm thoughts. I know if our Mom was able, she would want to be at Alma’s services.
We have known Alma through the VFW Auxiliary 7952 for many years. She was such an amazing volunteer for many years. She was always there to do whatever and whenever assistance was needed. Poppies??? She was always at the neighborhood establishments, working for the Veteran’s. She always a caring individual. After she had her accident on Jadwin Ave., while we were snowbirding she made such a miraculous recovery, none of her Auxiliary friends could believe it. She was still there to help others. The auxiliary was sad to see her move to LA but we knew it was the best thing for her to be near her loving family. She will be missed by her Auxiliary 7952 Sisters.
