Alma had resided in Stinnett, had been a member of First Baptist Church for 56 years and worked at Jim's Grocery for 32 years.
Alma and Max loved to spend their summers at their cabin in Lake City, Colo. They also traveled extensively, including visits to Alaska, Hawaii and Tennessee, among others.

Virginia was assisted by her daughter, Missy Jones, and husband Vernon and daughter Faith. For the last year, Virginia was supported by granddaughter Amy Kesner, who lovingly devoted many hours to Alma's care. The family also extends its gratitude to Hospice Care of the Southwest and to Deanya Lillard, Katti Shipley, Martha Johnson and the Rev. Darrell Burton for their dedication to our beloved matriarch.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7.
