Alma was born January 1st, 1926 the daughter of Jacob and Margaret (Nagel) Wetzel in Glen Ullin, ND on the family farm. She attended a farm school through the 8th grade. Alma met her husband Jack while she was working at the Patterson Hotel in Bismarck. Alma and Jack were married in Wibaux, MT by the Justice of the Peace and later at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Mandan, ND on September 13, 1954. She ran the Buckhorn Bar along with Jack for many years. Many days her patrons would be waiting at the door for her to open the establishment. They always looked forward to the great visits they had with her. Alma was a great German cook and the families favorite meal was fresh walleye, kasenips & fried potatoes.
Alma will be deeply missed by her son, Jim and daughters-in-law, Jean and Elaine Berger all of Mandan; 8 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren; sister, Minnie Wegerle, Wichita, KS along with numerous nieces and nephews.
