Alberta and her husband farmed in the Douglas County area for over 21 years.  After they retired from farming they started the Dixie Cream Donut Shop in Tuscola which she owned and operated for 33 years.  This truly was a family business and she was fortunate to work with her children, many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the Donut shop.  She also made many friendships that lasted her lifetime.

Alberta’s greatest joy was spending time and celebrating with her family.  She was extremely proud of each and every member.

She was a lifelong member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Tuscola.
