Dear Nieces & Nephews
Alberta and I worked together for 19 years in the Microscopical Lab. at American Enka. My first job was a sample boy at Enka for Alberta. Over the years we became true friends and I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a fine christain lady who lived by her faith each day. She was an inspiration to all who met her. I am sure you will miss her but we all have the assurances that she is in a better place today.
During my growing up years, I had the pleasure of knowing and learning from Alberta at Hominy Baptist Church. She was a very gracious lady. My sympathy to her family.
With Sympathy,
Ken & Jewel Israel
Alberta was a sweet, kind, generous woman with a gret sense of humor, a super intelligent mind, an instinctive care giver who helped many people in need, very humble, and a gracious host. After her beloved Ted left her, she missed him but knew that she would be with him again.
She loved her cousins, her nephews and nieces.
She most always beat us at the bridge table. Now, she has beat us to a far better place. She gave us love to pass on. Ken and Jewel
