ALMA REARDON

Alma Reardon was born as Alma Supper December 25, 1925 as a “Christmas Baby” in Hicksville New York. Alma’s parents were Adolphine and Rudolph Supper both of which had immigrated to the United States. Alma came from a large family which included one sister and four brothers.

She graduated from Hicksville high school and attended a nearby college thereafter. After college, Alma worked in retail sales and eventually served as a manager at a photography studio. She worked in that photography industry for 10 years and was very proud of her accomplishments.

Alma met her husband Bill in Connecticut and was married in 1958. Later that year, they settled down in Monroe Connecticut. There they raised two sons, Bill and Tom. While raising a family, Alma remained committed to the church. She served as a Sunday school teacher and participated in many groups. Alma also served in the women’s auxiliary for the Stepney volunteer fire department where her husband Bill served as a volunteer firefighter.

After her husband Bill retired, they settled down in South Carolina for several years and eventually moved to California to be closer to their two sons.

In Alma’s life, she remained a devout Christian and member of several Lutheran Churches last of which was Lutheran Church of the Cross. Alma was always deeply committed to church activities serving in various groups such as alter guild, parish projects and writing church publicity articles. As recently described by one of Alma’s church members and close friend, the Lutheran Church of the Cross was her life.

Throughout Alma’s entire life, she was always the eternal optimist and was consistently thankful for what god had provided for her and her family.

My love and wishes for a wonderful afterlife. You were my template for an observant Lutheran woman. I was an Altar Guilder, Ruth Circle woman and taught Sunday and Vacation Bible School. I also became a Church Council member and President.
Thanks to you for your guidance and love.

Aunt Alma was a patient, loving, kind person who was always interested in learning about what was going on in our lives. Each birthday we could count on Aunt Alma to send us a birthday card and a wedding anniversary card. Aunt Alma would keep up with our children’s lives, developments and careers. Aunt Alma would make sure she came to our annual family gathering the “Supperfest.” It was she who made sure we had a yearly reminder of how we have all grown by getting her tripod set up and snap the best picture for us all. Taking the picture always brought on hysterical laughs and groans that bring a smile to my face when I think of those times. Aunt Alma would bring her signature dish, a red gelatin mold with walnuts…one of my all time favorites! Aunt Alma was a wonderful sister to my Mom, Martha. They both shared wonderful adventures for years when my Mom would visit her in California. Thank you Aunt Alma for all your love and the memories you gave me. You hold a special place in my heart.
