She was a caring individual who always strived for perfection in all that she set out to do. Also a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother to her family. Her recipe for life was this: "My first recipe is always for a happy family. For ingredients you need caring, concerned parents, one or more loving children, two or more listening ears. Add walks together and lots of hugs and kisses, problems discussed over warm cookies and a nice cold glass of milk. It works when added with love of God and country, and respect for each other." Beloved wife of the late Eldon L. 'Al' Galligan. Beloved wife of George Alberg.
