She was married to the Rev. Harry A. Faugerstrom of Phillips, Nebraska on August 31, 1929. They had one son, Morris. She assisted her husband who pastored Evangelical Free Churches in Kiron, Arthur and Odeboldt, Iowa and Melvin, Texas. He was the Midwest District Superintendent of Evangelical Free Churches in Nebraska and Kansas form 1943 until his death in September of 1955.

Following her husband’s death, Alma moved to Chicago, Illinois where she was employed as Head of Admissions at Swedish Covenant Hospital for 7 years and as a child care specialist until 79 years of age. Her health began to fail in early 1982. Major surgeries in the summer of 1982 and 1983 continued further to her physical decline.
