Alberta (Binnion) Kindred, who resided on North Johnson Street, South Bend, Indiana, passed away at the age of 92 at 9:47 a.m., Monday, November 22, 2021, at Saint Joseph Health System.

Alberta was born April 1, 1929, in Dancy Pickens, Alabama to the union of Willie and Channie (Clark) Binnion, who both preceded her in death along with her husband, Harry Lee Kindred; their only child, a son, Willy James Love; five brothers, George, Cleveland, William, Dill and Frank Binnion; a stepsister; two close nieces: Alberta, Binnion-Hawkins, Atta Mae Binnion-Ulmer; close cousins, George McLinstrey, Trudy Mae McKinstery.
