Alta,what a wonderful person and good friend. Always a laugh and a smile. She will be missed but heaven will be a greater place.
Alta was part of our Gang of Five during high school in Perry. We spent many hours together after school. Although we had not been able to see other much after I moved to California, we did keep in touch at Christmas. Sad to hear of her passing.
Condolences to your family. I worked with Alta at Hallmark Cards. I smile when I think of her. I am so thankful for the many things she taught me with work and life struggles. One comment stays with me today,” Jane, life is what you make of it”. Alta was a special lady and would not want your sorrow to be great. God bless you and keep you.
So sad to hear of Alta’s passing. She was our our good neighbor for many years and very sweet to our children. She always gave them holiday gifts and sweets. Rest in peace.
I’ve know Alta since childhood. We went thru grade school and high school together. Alta was a very nice lady and a friend forever. She will be missed by many.
A beautiful person inside and out. I had the priviledge of knowing her my whole life as she was my Aunt. She is truly a woman of GOD and will rest peacefully in his arms. Much love to all.
Alta, was a very special lady and so loved.
She was always there for me and she had a way of making you feel so very special and your troubles were hers too.
I know she is in Heaven now!
She will be truly missed by so many, because she cared.
