Alma was the daughter of the late George and Almira Burton.

She married Samuel Pfendler, Sr. in 1958. Alma assisted Sam in their pioneer work by wielding an ax and doing a share of the timber cutting. She helped her husband build their little log house which was 18 ft X 22 ft. She taught her husband to read and write, as he only spoke German.

In 1871 they built a two-story frame house, 30 feet square which stands today at 11944 Southeastern Avenue. The house has had additions and bee remodeled many times, but five generations of the Samuel Pfendler family have lived there.

Alma and Sam had four children: Anna, Emma, Samuel Jr., and Levi.
