Walhberg called his mother "my angel" upon her passing in mid-April.

Mark's brother Donnie said at the time "she was, without a doubt, the most loving human being I've ever known."

"My mom Alma's joy for life, love and people — combined with a pride in her humble beginnings and refusal to forget where she came from — undoubtedly shaped me into the man that I am," Donnie said.

The Wahlbergs grew up in Dorchester.
