Alma grew up in the Woodglen area where she had many relatives close by and enjoyed social events, especially dances at the Prague Hall. She attended Hayden School. Alma married Terry Bonnett on September 1, 1950. They lived in the Strome, Viking and Camrose areas. Alma loved working different places in Camrose: Woolworths, McLeods, Fahmans, Saan Store and others. She loved meeting the public, cooking, floor curling and doing things for her family. She was also a member of the Moose Lodge for many years. In later years, Terry and Alma moved to Rosealta Lodge, where they had many friends and enjoyed it there. Later when Alma needed more care, she moved to Bethany Meadows. Terry went to visit Alma every day until later when he also moved into Bethany Meadows. Alma was well taken care of and enjoyed all of the staff very much. She had a few favorite girls she spoke highly of, she called them her angels. Alma had such a great sense of humor and was always quick with a hilarious comment. Another great pass time of Alma's was feeding people. It was nothing for Grandma Haney to whip up a big meal in no time. Her buns, pies and baking were loved by all. She was such a great cook and seldom needed a recipe. She will be deeply missed by all of her family and friends. She was so easy to love. A Funeral Service was held at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 21, 2018 from the Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Mary Ann Pastuck officiating. If family and friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
