Alda is Marie's sister in Everybody Loves Raymond. Alda has a daughter, Stacy, who happens to be a “300-pound nutritionist.” (Stacy isn't seen in the show, only mentioned in the episode "I Wish I Were Gus".) As of Gus's funeral, she lived in Canada.
As children, Alda enjoyed doing mean things to her sister Marie. She would often read Marie's diary, wear her clothes, steal her boyfriends, and put her dolls in "odd" poses. They have been butting heads all their lives.
Marie put Alda at a table far across the room at Ray and Debra's wedding, which caused hurt feelings. In the intervening years, both women went through menopause.
She and Marie briefly reconcile at the funeral, only to begin fighting when Debra apologizes for being upset at Alda, too.
