She was a funeral director/embalmer for Hoener Funeral Home, secretary at Cuba Middle School, accountant at Wycoff Accounting and the librarian at the Cuba Senior Center.

She had a zest for life and enjoyed doing exciting things, like riding roller coasters and sky diving to name a couple. She was an avid reader, enjoyed puzzles, traveling and spending time with her family and friends.

Alberta is preceded in death by her parents, husband, one brother Houston Wycoff; brothers-in-law Joseph Licklider, sister-in-law Wendy Licklider and nephew John Licklider.

Those who are left to treasure her memory are her sisters-in-law Carlene Wycoff and family, Lucy Licklider and family, Carol and husband David Wheeler and family, brother-in-law James Licklider and family and countless friends.
