Alma was an only child. She married Raymond Sielaff and had three children: Brad, Jeanne and Steven. She has three grandsons: Mark, Michael and Alexander. Early in life she was a model. She loved shopping at Dayton's Department Store so much she got a job there. Although she and Ray parted ways, they came back together again for family gatherings in later life. Both Ray and Alma went into the hospital the same week. Alma passed that week, Ray soon after. Alma kept in contact with her family back in Sweden and made trips back there. She grew up listening to her parents speak the language and still remembered it. She was a very nice person and missed deeply.
