Alvina spent much of her time caring for her younger siblings as well as many nieces and nephews. She never married. She enjoyed sewing, reading, cooking and baking. Everyone loved her zwiebach! She was a great influence and joy to her whole family and those she worked with. All who knew her loved her. Even though she never had children of her own, she was mother and grandmother to many.
