Alberta was a devoted member and active servant to her Lord and Savior.

Over the years Alberta served in many roles within the Church where she devoted her heart to her Lord and Savior from Sunday School teacher, member of the Choir, leading the children’s Choir, and Church Administrator. One of Alberta’s most favorite stories she would tell is how she became to know the Lord through Reverend Richard Hall’s messages of Salvation.

Alberta had several lifelong friends she will be looking forward to seeing again, Susan Cunningham affectionately referred to as “the other mother” of Alberta’s Children. Alberta’s childhood friends who were like her sisters, Anne Feeney, Bonnie Russell and Pattie Hawkins.
Alberta will be remembered for her generosity, love of family, and growing her family through the love of her Lord and Savior. She loved welcoming and giving to those who had nowhere to go giving them a place to call home.
