Althea had many jobs, including customer service, housekeeping, CNA and most recently, as an optometry technician. Althea enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She loved her kids dearly and she loved to be around them. She had many things she liked to do in her free time; camping, swimming, having BBQs, and cruising. She loved a lot of music, also enjoyed laughing, she always made everybody laugh. She loved all her cousins, she was always there for them especially Bonnie, Krys, Jennifer, Tanya, and Rolinda. Everybody knew Althea was always there to lend a helping hand. If you needed her or if you needed support in anyway, she was there. Althea still had things she wanted to do in life. She was still very young and beautiful. Althea had the biggest heart, beautiful smile, contagious laughter, and she loved everyone so much.
