Alta had a passion for painting ceramics, gardening, and fishing. Her love for flowers and decorating, especially during Christmas, brought joy to those around her. She was a great cook and loved to make meals for her family. Alta's greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, showing them unconditional love and care.
