My regards to the family of Alta Minnick,

Many years ago I worked with a lady by the name of Alta Minnick, at General Electric here in Ft. Wayne, probably between 1965 and 1977. I'm in my late sixties now, and I don't know if "your" Alta could be the same lady I had the pleasure of knowing so many years ago. But with the name "Alta"...she must have also, been a wonderful, loving and caring person. I am truly sorry for your loss!
Sincerely, Carol Lyons ([email protected])

What a beautiful lady! She had the heart of gold, and would gladly give you the shirt off her back. The love for her family was undeniable. You loving spirit will continue to live on in our hearts and souls as well as the wonderful memories. You will be greatly missed dear Aunt Alta. Rest in Peace.....
