Alberta was very intelligent and loved working with her hands. Alberta had a green thumb and grew beautiful plants. She was also very artsy, had an eye for detail and won much praise and accolades for her interior decorating and design.

Alberta was a fabulous story teller, who touched many with her infectious smile and humor. To know her was to love her. Her love of gospel music, the Lord and shopping bargains, was known by ALL. She also had the gift of getting the most "Impossible" things done.
