Alberta was a caring person with little regard for material possessions. She put her sons and her extended family first always. She was artistic, creative, fiercely-independent and she said what she thought. She was a constant in a changing world and was always ready to help with kind words, moral support, shelter or whatever was necessary.

Alberta passed at age 86 in her home surrounded by family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your favorite charity.
