Alvina was born on October 31, 1933, in Wall, South Dakota. She was the devoted daughter of John and Jennie (Fecht) Buseman. The family relocated to Iowa when Alvina was young, and she graduated from Dumont High School in the class of 1951. She was united in marriage a year later to Carl H. Voss on June 12, 1952, in Dumont, Iowa. After their marriage they lived for a short time in Parkersburg and then moved to the family farm a mile and a half west of Fern until 1982 when they built their home in Fern. They enjoyed many wonderful years together until Carl’s passing in 2006.

Alvina was a devoted mother, a loving wife, and partner to her husband on their farm. She was an active member at Pleasant Valley Reformed Church. She and Carl served the church as its custodians for many years. She was also a VBS leader and a member of the Ladies Guild.
