Alma moved to Moorestown in the mid-1950's with her husband Jack. Alma and Jack enjoyed raising their three boys in Moorestown and attending their many activities over the years. Alma was an active member of the Moorestown Field Club for many years, enjoying mornings on the course playing 9 holes with her girlfriends. Alma also loved to cook. Family favorites included Swedish meatballs, butter cookies, rice pudding, pies and her beloved vegetable soup. Family and friends were often the recipients of "Nan's" homemade knitting of sweaters and scarves, which she continued well into her later years. Alma will forever be remembered in her neighborhood for sitting in her side yard enjoying the sunshine with her Labrador Retrievers.
