Alfreta was educated in the Saint Louis Public School system. She attended both Sumner High, and Beaumont High School. She graduated from Job Corps. She worked in various industries throughout her lifetime, but most enjoyed being a Caregiver.

She enjoyed caring for those she loved, and  creating new memories with them. She was always willing to help anyone. She would always say, “If I had it once I can get it again, and more”.
