A tireless bundle of focused and determined energy, Alma was a prolific gardener.  She enjoyed crochet and needle-work, ceramics and design and painting of crafts and lawn ornaments. Alma was predeceased in 2011 by William, her husband of 57 years.  She is survived by her son, Ed (Arlene), grandchildren Chris and Joanna, and by her brother Arnold and her sister Eleanor.
