“Grandma” Alma 1936-2012
Joannie’s mother Alma Pintok passed away shortly before midnight last night after sixteen days of hospice care given by her family at her New Brighton home. A true character if there ever was one; she will be missed by everyone who knew her. “The Bookie” as my dad aways calls her, loved casinos, picking NFL and college football games, bowling (she was an exceptional bowler), bingo, golf, getting into trouble and having fun in life.
She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren more than you can imagine. This son-in-law (or outlaw as she called me) will really miss her. Alma is pictured here with her son Ken, daughters Brenda and Joannie along with our daughter Jen at her wedding last year.
Thank you to all of you that have had her in your thoughts and prayers.
