I worked at Fandel’s and Herberger’s with Alma and became friends at that time. She was always a joyous, friendly, wonderful person to talk with. I miss all of my friends from Fandel’s day that have passed on ahead of the rest of us. We will always remember Alma.

Guestbook
Alma will be missed at St. Benedict’s. She had such a lively spirit for the age of 94. It was a pleasure visiting with her. She loved talking about family and her life. My thoughts and sympathy are with her family….
