In the words of her loved ones:

It’s difficult to capture Alma's essence in just a few words, given how remarkable she was. To those who knew her, she was truly a force of nature. From a young age, Alma exhibited an extraordinary personality—one marked by determination and passion. Whether she was acting, playing basketball or drawing, her enthusiasm was unshakeable.

Mornings spent with our grandma were incomplete without her radiant smile that lit up the room. Alma had a knack for brightening everyone’s day with tales of her basketball victories and the new friends she made along the way. But it wasn’t just her vibrant personality that made these moments special; it was her deep compassion for those around her. She had a unique ability to make everyone feel valued, whether through the warmth of her hugs or the way she listened with genuine interest.

Alma’s dreams were as big as her heart. She envisioned herself studying at Oxford and becoming a professional basketball player, ambitions that reflected her boundless energy and intellect. Her presence left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her, and the world feels dimmer without her light.
