Aunt Alma, you were my inspiration to become a teacher. I enjoyed the trips we took together, especially to Rockport, Ma. I have one of your ocean paintings hanging in my new house. God bless you. You’ll be missed. Betty Primmer Carmen

I was sorry to hear of the passing of my great Aunt Alma, but happy to know she lead a full, long life. I always loved going to visit her when we were in town. She will be missed.

Alma's life deserves to be celebrated by all who knew her. Whether it was her art,travel, music, recipes or stories; she enriched my and my family members' lives forever... Alma has been a part of my life since before I was born. I still have the quilt she and her sister, Mary Caffrey, made for my birth in 1949. We visited her every time we visited Nonno and Nanna in North Adams. Alma was a frequent visitor to our home outside of Boston as well. We shared a rich Austrian-Italian heritage. Alma was my Mom's best friend for the past 99 of her 102 years. Alma participated in all of our family special occasions. Alma and nephew, Tim, were our first visit ours when we were stationed in Morocco. She will always live on in our hearts. With love from Debbie, Alan, Regina Alma and Destiny Fedele

As a fledgling art teacher in the 1970's I attended monthly meetings of Berkshire County art teachers. I met Alma there. She was an inspiration to me, so professional and knowledgeable.

I'm sorry for your loss may you find comfort in Jehoah's word at John 5:28,29
