She devoted many years of service in the medical field, working at Santa Rosa Hospital and later as a Certified Nursing Assistant with Mission Road. Caring for others was not just her profession—it was her calling. She touched countless lives through her kindness, patience, and compassion.

Outside of work and church, Alfreda found great joy in caring for her family. She was an exceptional cook and an unforgettable baker. Her homemade fudge, delicious cookies, and beautifully baked cakes brought smiles to every gathering and will forever be remembered and missed by those who were blessed to enjoy them. One of Alfreda’s greatest pleasures was traveling to Las Vegas, where she loved spending time on vacation making treasured memories with family and friends. She also had a remarkable gift for listening and offering words of encouragement. Whether someone needed comfort, advice, or simply a caring ear, Pumkin was always there with love, wisdom, and unwavering support.
