Alta was born on April 27, 1949, a snowy day in Chino, California. She graduated from Chaffey High School in 1967. Alta was married to Delmas Owen Tackett Jr. on September 23, 1972, and were married for 51 years. Alta worked at Montclair High School for 20+ years where she enjoyed interacting and making a positive impact on her students’ lives. She enjoyed working in her garden with her expansive knowledge of plant life and exploring the outdoors with loved ones. She took pleasure in coloring and styling hair and was the “go-to” expert for any occasion. She excelled in sewing and crocheting, making clothes, Halloween costumes, blankets, and shawls. There was no limit to her creativity or ability. Her kindness and thoughtfulness knew no bounds as she was always happy to call all those she loved to sing a special rendition of “Happy Birthday”. Her bright eyes and beautiful smile delighted us everyday and will be sorely missed. Until we meet again, may our blessed matriarch rest in peace.
Alta is survived by her husband, two daughters, two sons-in-law, four grandsons, two granddaughters, a brother, five sisters, and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
