Maria Alma Delgado

Tia Alma was always so kind and so gracious to my family. I will see her again in heaven. So sorry for your loss family. I always enjoyed being in her presence. :heart:

My name is Lisa and I had the privilege and pleasure to be Alma's daughter-in-law. I married her son Randy when we were both just out of high school. As a young woman I spent a lot of time with my then boyfriend, soon husband, in their home. I'll never forget the warm welcome she always extended to me and the cozy feeling I had while with her. I was able to learn so much from her, but, of course, never the whole of her many talents and gifts. She seemed, to me, to be good at everything. And not just good... amazing and skilled at so many things. Her cooking, which she credited to her husband Marcos for teaching her, was always delicious and more importantly, always comforting. She knitted, crocheted, sewed, quilted, embroidered, tatted and did needle point. She was so creative. Later in her life she worked with ceramics, which you could tell she really enjoyed. All her work was flawless. I often mistook much of her yarn and thread work to be machine made... She was THAT good! She was a steadfast and loving mother and grandmother. And she was a good friend to so many, including me. I will miss her presence in our family but will always be reminded of her through Randy and our three children, who she loved very much and who loved her. Meema we all loved you and will miss you more than you will ever know. Love, Lisa

Alma Delgado was my private tutor for learning the Spanish language in the late sixties and seventies while I was in mission at St. Joseph, Saginaw. I loved her skill, humor, joyful smile and laugh. She lived a long life and will be missed. I send my sympathy and prayers to all her children and to those who loved her so much. S. Joan (Mary) Williams, OP
