She was the best mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and a true friend. Her kindness came from her heart, never hesitated to open her arms and was loved in return. Alvina loved to shop from department stores to garage sales, and I would guarantee that she would come home with the best deal.In Alvina\'s working career, she enjoyed and was proud of being a federal employee at the VA for about 10 years, and was highly respected. Alvina\'s best times were when she would go on vacation to see family. Later in her life she looked forward to her annual get together with her sisters in California and then they would go to Las Vegas. In Vegas, her favorite luck was at the poker slot machines. In the summer time Alvina enjoyed working on her yard, and had a green thumb for planting flowers.
