Alma was a single devoted mother who lived her life as a strong devoted person to her family and was full of life.

She was a member of Mujeres Unidas, MADD, Edinburg Crime Stoppers, Inc., nonprofit organization “Una Mano”, RGV – Law Dogs, and owner of Balloons by Am-Bee. Alma helped many people throughout her life and was always there to lend a helping hand, but her greatest joy was spending her time with her children, grandchildren, and family.
