Phelps

Minnie Alma (Dunn) Phelps known to us as Alma was born July 4, 1921, to Pete and Amanda (Brown) Dunn at Lecoma, Missouri, in Dent County. She departed this life on September 3, 2008, at the nursing home St. John's Place in St. Louis, MO. She was preceded in death by her parents and eleven brothers and sisters. As a young girl she accepted Christ and was baptized in a Baptist Church.

On January 29, 1955 she was united in marriage to Charles Elmo Phelps at the Antioch Church in Pumpkin Hollow by the late Sterling Chitwood.

They have lived in the Overland area for the past 41 years. She had been in the nursing home for the past three years.

Alma was very talented with a needle and thread making many beautiful quilts. You can see the evidence of this in the homes of her nieces and nephews as she made each a quilt.

She is survived by her husband Charles Elmo of Overland, sisters-in-law, Imogene (Orlan) Hardgrave of Herculaneum, Jeanne (Billy) Roderman of Ellington, along with many nieces, nephews and friends who will mourn her passing.
