See Condolences

I'll always remember your welcoming smile, your laughter, and your ability to always know what to say. I'll miss you forever.

I did not know Alma well, however, when I was employed with UTMB Correctional Managed Care, I used to take an occasional break and walk back to the UR nursing area and share some of my many personal stories. I remember Alma laughing with me and the other nurses at these stories. I was very much saddened by the news of her sudden passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Noreen and former co-workers and friends. "Blessed are those who have fallen asleep in Him." Melinda Duroux

Over many years we shared so many stories, so many giggles, and a few tears. Many of my fondest memories were spent with Alma, and her dearest and best friend Noreen. True friends are like diamonds; precious and rare, and Noreen, you were always that friend. I know you will miss her forever, but know you are always in my thoughts. Alma's wit and impish smile will be missed by all that knew her. So long, Bonnie Lassie. Gwyneth. (Gwen)

Alma will be missed by all that knew her. I have many fond memories of working together in CMC. I extend my condolence to her many friends and the staff of UTMB CMC. Ted Dinklage - Retired

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time. – The Staff of Malloy Funerals & Cremations
