Alma M Marven, age 90, of Sarasota passed away on Friday, July 31, 2020 at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center. She was born September 8, 1929 to Joseph Koenig and Rose Mische in Planina (Slovenia) in former Yugoslavia.
Alma attended elementary and high school in Slovenia. In her early 20’s, she immigrated to the United States where she later proudly became a U.S. citizen. She moved to Sarasota in 1988 from Brewster, NY. One that loved clothing and jewelry, she was always interested in fashion trends.
