She had two younger brothers, Robert Charles and Arlie Madison. Alma was introduced to Gerald Lester Reasor by her cousin Harriett. He was in the Army Air Corp and was stationed in Columbia, South Carolina. They were married January 20, 1942, while he was on furlough and then moved to South Carolina to start their family. Nancy Gail and Darrell Ray soon arrived. When he was discharged from the Army they moved back to Floyds Knobs where Rowlen Lee, Irris Lynn, and Winnona Sue were born. Gerald went to work as a mechanic and they built a new house. During this time, Alma became gravely ill and went blind. They tried many doctors but none could find the cause until they went to a Chiropractor. After several adjustments, Alma was able to see again. Following this experience, Gerald decided to go to Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa. So with five children they up and moved again.
After Gerald graduated from college, they found a little town called French Lick in Indiana where they could settle down in. Their family grew again, adding Reneta Kay, and the twins, Lenita Jan and Lolita Ann. Alma continued as a homemaker until the children were grown and then she began working in Gerald’s office. She enjoyed working with him. After Gerald died in 1990, Alma sold the practice. She kept very busy visiting shut-ins, sending cards of encouragement, and watching grandchildren and then on February 12, 1996 she passed away.
Being a good wife and mother was very important to Alma, but being a good Christian woman was the top priority to her. God came first in her life and she taught those values to her children. These values are evident in the poetry she wrote.ver menos
