Timothy A. Funk will officiate. Almeda enjoyed playing cards, sewing and doing word puzzles. She lived a very simple life, but spending time with her family was very important to her. She could be found sitting in her chair for countless hours with her dog Millie laying on her lap enjoying the attention and companionship they gave to each other. It has been requested that in lieu of flowers, to spend quality time and or do something special for a loved one. God looked upon his garden and saw an empty place. He then looked down upon us and saw her tired face. He put his arms around her, and lifted her to rest. God's garden must be beautiful now, for he only takes the best.
