I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:  and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.       

  2 Timothy 4:7-8

 

 

Alma Faye Hector was born on October 27th, 1956 in Somerville, TX to Ethel V. Hector and Willie Lavan, Sr.  She attended and graduated from Ball High School.

Alma enjoyed cooking and spending time with her family.  She loved to shop and would take her time strolling through thrift shops finding many unique pieces.  If anyone was going down I10 she was going to play to win at the casino.  Alma was extremely crafty and would use her sense of style to make some of the most beautiful jewelry. 

Alma had a radiant smile that could light up a room and the ability to make friends wherever she went. She was a true social butterfly and possessed an unwavering selflessness and was always ready to lend a helping hand. Her warmth and genuine interest in everyone she met created an aura that transformed strangers into friends. Her kindness touched many lives, and she always knew how to make you laugh even during tough times.
