Alma Galante, age 82, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 12th 2025.
Alma was born in the Dominican Republic on January 13th 1943. She was born to Melida Sanabia and was the step-daughter of Elpidio Sanabia. The family moved to the Bronx when she was nine. Alma noted missing her red roller skates but absolutely loved seeing snow for the first time.
Alma had a love for learning and valued education. She earned her citizenship in 1961 and Masters degree in 1998. She was a supervisor at UA Columbia Cablevision for a number of years.
Alma is the beloved wife of Salvatore Galante. They began their marriage in the Bronx in 1963 then moved to Dumont NJ. They ultimately made their home in Ringwood, NJ where they raised their daughter, Marie.
Alma enjoyed crafting. She especially loved making piñatas for Christmas because she deeply treasured the magical moments that brought light to a child’s eyes.
Alma is survived by her husband Salvatore, daughter Marie Kreutz, Son In-law Bob, and three grandchildren, Alexandra, Marcus, and Zariyah. Alma was very close to her sister Rose and brother Robert. She also has a very large and loving extended family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Association, alz.org would be greatly appreciated.
