My Deepest Condolences to Lula and Ida Bagsby and the Stubblefield family. Auntie Alma was one of my biggest supporters since I was child growing up on 17th and Massachusetts St. She and my Mother were childhood friends and attended Froebel High School together. I will miss her warmth and that big smile she's known for. Rest on, Auntie!

Sending my sincere, warmest condolences for your loss. I was very happy to have reconnected with Alma Zean recently via social media after losing contact for several years. Alma Zean will be sorely missed by many, with her softly spoken voice she comforted me in my time of sadness with the loss of my longtime husband. Be comforted knowing that she was loved by a multitude of loved ones and friends. I thank her family for sharing her with us all. From Helena (Laine) Trotter and the Trotter family.
