She was kind of heart and very strong of will. She attended school in Livingston where she excelled as a softball player consistently making the All Star Team and participated in weight lifting as a power lifter. She was tiny and full of might! She was blessed with children at a young age. Her two children brought the best out of her; she took every step to be a positive role model and provide the best for them. She earned her G.E.D. and was studying to complete her accounting degree. She always protected her family, could be tough yet compassionate and would stand her ground no matter the size of her foe. Alona has lived in Billings for the past nine years. Most of that time she worked at Wells Fargo, where she was recently promoted to Research/Remediation Associate.
