Mrs. Albers was born on June 15, 1937, in Lake Charles. She was a proud graduate of St. Charles Academy. She lived most of her life in the Lake Charles and Sweetlake communities. In 1954, she married her sweetheart, George, and together they built a loving home and raised their family.

Mrs. Albers enjoyed sewing and lovingly created clothing for her children for many years. Among her family's most treasured memories were the beautiful Easter dresses she made for her daughters. She, alongside her husband, George, enjoyed cheering on the McNeese Cowboys as they proudly followed their sons' football games. She was an avid reader who enjoyed traveling and never passed up a game of BINGO. Mrs. Albers devoted her life and her love to her family. She was a loving, supportive, and encouraging mother who found her greatest joy in caring for those she loved. She later welcomed the opportunity to take care of her grandchildren when needed. A time that was cherished by all.
