Alma Marie Bochsler was born on July 3, 1928, in Peola, Washington to Theresa and Bernard Wolf. She died on March 5, 2025, in a very caring house in Woodburn, Oregon. Alma married Charles (Chuck) Bochsler on January 15, 1949; they shared 59 years of life together. She enjoyed living on the farm, sharing her life with Chuck, and raising her 12 children. She kept the cellar stocked full of her canned food. The family loved her boysenberry pies, bread and butter pickles, and ketchup made from her well-tended garden and from the farm's variety of berry fields. Alma was strong in her faith and parish. She loved reading, too. At the local library she was one of their most frequent patrons; they scouted books for their most voracious reader.

Alma was preceded in death by her husband Chuck who was the love of her life, two of her daughters Frances (Keith) Bosch and Judy (Dennis) Bleakney, and grandson Craig Bosch.

Alma is survived by daughters: Alice Gamroth of Silverton, Barbara (Steve) Winn of Keizer, Patricia (Carl) Sessums of Springfield, and Betty (Jeff) Wall of Mt. Angel; sons: Vincent (Diana) of Rock Springs, Wyoming; Harold (Eileen) of Olympia, Washington; Gordon (Tania) of Mt. Angel; Wayne (Monica) of Mt. Angel; David (Kimberley) of Reno, Nevada; and Charles (Denise) of Mt. Angel; 33 grandchildren; and 47 great-grandchildren. Alma was the next to youngest of six siblings and the last of her siblings to pass on.

The family wants to thank the following for their loving care: Anne Kimani, of Oasis Residential Care Home; and Willamette Vital Health Hospice.
