Alma G. Mihalus

Alma G. Mihalus, 96, of Mentor, passed away February 21, 2019 at Brookdale of Mentor. She was born February 19, 1923 in Geneva, OH. Mrs. Mihalus was a homemaker. She was a proud member of Club 44, which was a big part of her life. The group started in 1944 and consisted of 14 women that went to school together or lived in the same neighborhood. They met once a month and rotated which house they met at, they were like family for each other. The group would meet monthly and celebrated birthdays, engagements, weddings, babies and later in life supported each other at funerals. The monthly meetings that were held were just for the woman and not the husbands and kids. The ladies of Club 44 would laugh and laugh and they always had a great time on club night. The ladies always shared food and were of great support for one another. The Club provided unconditional friendship and they supported each other through all of life's ups and downs. Alma was the last Club 44 member to pass away and she would always speak of how hard it was to describe the incredible bond that all the woman had with each other. In addition to being a Club 44 member, Alma volunteered at St. John Vianney Church and she was active at the Mentor Senior Center when she moved to Mentor. She enjoyed wood carving and playing pool. Survivors are her daughters, Arlene (Ian) Templeton, Marilynn Williams, and Gail Stafford; grandchildren, Adam Templeton, Lara (Brian) Stark, Kurt (Gena) Williams, Erin (Bryan) Terada, and Dylan Stafford; and her great grandchildren, Nicole, Ivan, Carson, and Kendall. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank; parents, Harry and Fannie Kriznik; sister, Zellie Kriznik; and her brother, Harry Kriznik. Funeral mass will be held 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at St. John Vianney Church, 7575 Bellflower Rd., Mentor (Please meet at the church.) Interment will be at All Souls Cemetery, Chardon. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to St. John Vianney Church. Arrangements entrusted to the Brunner Sanden Deitrick Funeral Home & Cremation Center 8466 Mentor Ave., Mentor, OH 44060. Please offer condolences at www.brunners.com.
