They made their home in rural Wann, Oklahoma, where they lived for 64 years, raising their three children, Melinda, Gary and Bonnie. Together, they enjoyed raising cattle and farming. Alma and Donald celebrated 68 years of marriage, until Donald’s death in 2016.
Alma loved nature and living in the country. She was very kind, giving and had a soft spot in her heart for dogs. Among her favorite pastimes were fishing, hunting, gardening, canning and traveling. Alma was also active in her community. She was a member of the Oklahoma Home & Community Education (OHCE) organization for many years. And she also enjoyed volunteering with the Nowata County Election Board.
