I first met Alma when I started my 40 year career with Red Cross in 1982. She left a lasting impression on me throughout my life as I remember her as being so kind, gracious and lovely. I have thought about her many times over the years since I moved from Winston-Salem in 1987 and glad to see how well she lived her life and has left such a legacy.

I worked with Alma at the Red Cross from 1974 until 1979. I was 24 when I started, and it was my first real job. Alma was one of a handful of ladies on the staff at that time, and they all became my substitute mothers and amazing mentors. I learned so much from these ladies, and I like to say that a little worm slid into the building, and a beautiful butterfly flew out 5 years later! Alma and these ladies raised me, and changed my life. Now with her passing, I am the only one left, which breaks my heart. I loved Alma and when I went back to the Red Cross, as Executive Director, 20 years later, Alma was the first to call and congratulate me. She was a wonderful, wonderful person, and I will always remember her, and be grateful for her love and support. My heart is broken.
