Her legacy will carry on through her 35 grandchildren and a host of great-grandchildren. She is survived by her six siblings, Gwendolyn, Muriel, Ruth, Marjorie, Marvin, and Veronica. Albertha was truly loved by many for her generous and giving nature. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family and loved ones. Her presence will be greatly missed. She will remain in our hearts forever.
