Alma comes from diverse ancestry; she has eleven sixteenth Irish heritage, some French, some English, and some Canadian. Raising one kid is hard enough, but Alma managed to raise nine kids with good manners and a kind heart. Alma worked as a nurse’s aide and a bank clerk while trying to raise her nine children. She raised her kids in the same streets in Manchester that she grew up in. Alma’s nine kids are named Arthur E. Donnelly, Paul Wahlberg ( also known as Paul J. Wahlberg), James M. Wahlberg ,Tracey A. Marcarelli, Michelle Wahlberg, Robert Wahlberg (aka Robert G. Wahlberg), late Deborah E.Donelly, Robert , Donnie and Mark.

Alma had her second marriage with Mark Conroy in 1984. Their love had been growing, and they decided to tie the knot at their wedding held in a very private fashion with only close family and friends. Alma and Mark Conroy lived happily for a blissful 37 years. In an interview with TODAY for their segment ” Through Mom’s Eye,” she very candidly talked about how she hit rock bottom many times. When asked about what are the two things she believes she has done right while raising her kids, she said ” I always tried to mean what I said, I did not know if it was right or wrong for me, but I always made sure that my words heeld meaning.”
