Alta worked many years as a mail carrier to Starbuck, Wash., and the Little Goose Dam, until a few years after the dam construction was complete. Alta then spent several years working at Garfield County Hospital as a housekeeper.

Her husband passed away in 1974, and several years later Alta married Everett Drader. They were later divorced.

A brother, Wayne Jones, preceded her in death. She is survived by two sisters, Lela Rovertto (Angelo) and Alene Frothinger; her four children, Bob (Mary) Still, James (Barb) Still, Peggy Baker and Linda Selders; as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Alta was a loving mother and grandmother.
