The family returned to Oklahoma in 1952 and moved to Monterey in 1957. Alma and Wes were adoring parents. She worked for 37 ½ years for SBC and Pac Bell retiring in June 1975 as Manager of Operator Services.

Alma was an involved member of the Monterey United Methodist Church for more than fifty years and was also a volunteer for CHOMP for many years. The Rec Trail in Pacific Grove was her favorite early-morning place.
