Lalle was born March 29, 1939, to colonists Gustave and Althea Scheibl at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Palmer, Alaska. She graduated from Palmer High School in 1957. Lalle was Miss Matanuska State Fair at the Alaska State Fair in 1957. She married her sweetheart Daniel M Contini on June 19, 1960. They made their home on Lazy Mountain and raised six children.

Lalle's favorite job was her years at the Palmer Public Health Center. She loved helping people in trouble and with their needs. She had the biggest heart and thought of others before herself. Her door was always open with a cookie jar and candy drawer full.

After her retirement she loved planting flowers every summer, watching the mountain and the birds feeding out of her big picture windows. She was an avid reader. She loved both her cats.

Lalle leaves behind her husband of 57 years Daniel M. Contini, daughters Diane Hall, Danette and John Schloeder, Debbie and Tim Braun and Denise Contini. Sons David Contini and Daniel W. Contini. Grandchildren Katie Becker, Amy Contini, Hunter Stanfield, Cooper Braun, McKinley Braun, Kyle Hall, Gavin Hall and Makayla Hall. Great Grandchildren Emma and Eric Becker. Sister Patty Whitt, Brother Frank Scheibl and many nephews and nieces.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and siblings, Evelyn, Annabelle, Allan, George and her best friend Brenda Lewis.
