Rottmann in 1953, Alma taught in a Lutheran School in Brownsville, Texas. Subsequently she taught in both Lutheran and public schools wherever Ron, who served in the Air Force, was stationed.

Alma was a faithful servant of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She witnessed her faith through her faithful attendance and support of the local Lutheran church wherever she lived. She enjoyed singing in church choirs, attending meetings of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, visited the sick and shut-in, and provided support for the activities of the youth.

Alma is survived by her two children, Gary (Betsy) Rottmann of Edmond, OK. and Ronelle (Tony) Schultz of Battle Ground, WA., by five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, two brothers, Jim and Henry, and four sisters, Gladys, Geraldine, Ruth and Ethel.

Alma was preceded in death by her husband Ron, brother Eugene, and sister Dora.

Alma was a devoted wife, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, friend and child of God. She was loved by all.
