Alma grew up on a farm near Wanamingo and later raised her own family in St. Louis Park. There she volunteered in the community at the local charity thrift store, and was an active member of American Legion post 282. In recent years she helped make quilts at Grace Lutheran church in St. Paul. She especially enjoyed time with family and friends. Alma was very social and liked to join others in most any activity. Her favorite was playing cards and she was always up for a casino trip. Being a good sport she tried yoga and line dancing in her 90’s. She never stopped learning new things and had several late in life hobbies...oil painting, knitting, piano lessons and word puzzles. Alma believed the secret to a long life was to “just keep moving”. She will be remembered as a kind and caring person with a quiet wit and amazing memory. She will be greatly missed.
Given the current circumstances there will be a private graveside internment at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery at a later date.
