Read More	Alta Walters, 86, of Columbus, Nebraska, died Wednesday, July 30, 2014, at her daughters home in Papillion, Nebraska. The funeral service will be Monday, August 4, 10:00 A.M. at the First United Methodist Church in Columbus with Rev. Cindi Stewart officiating. Interment will be in the Columbus Cemetery. Visitation will be on Sunday from 5:00 - 7:00 P.M. at the Gass Haney Funeral Home and on Monday from 9:00 - 10:00 A.M. at the church with a family prayer service at 9:45 A.M. also at the church. Memorials may be directed to the First United Methodist Church Prayer Chapel. Alta was born on February 25, 1928, on a farm near Monroe, Nebr. to Edward and Belle (Harris) Jenkinson. Alta was the youngest of three children and attended Monroe School and was very active in 4-H. Alta's schooling included generous amounts of home economics classes but much of her spare time was devoted to farm chores, milking cows, feeding chickens and showing hogs and cattle during summertime fairs. She enjoyed everything that allowed her to be outside. After graduating from Monroe High School in 1945, Alta attended Commercial Extension School of Commerce in Omaha while also working for board and room. She returned to the Columbus area to work in the new Veteran's Service Office in early 1946, a time when WWII veterans were returning home. Later, Alta worked as Deputy Register of Deeds and as the receptionist and bookkeeper at Drs. James, Meyer and Brillhart. Many fans of the Columbus Races will remember Alta from her more than 45 years of work as a part-time ticket cashier, retiring in 2004. The love of horseracing began with her mother Belle who always bet on the gray horse. On September 2, 1950, she married Richard C. "Dick" Walters in Papillion whom she had met playing volleyball at the Columbus YMCA. Together, Alta and Dick raised their family of seven children, four boys and three girls, in Columbus while Dick and his brother Wendell operated The Art Printery, a business their father started in 1912. Alta loved gardening and was a charter member of Springs and Sprouts Garden Club forming in 1960. She was a Den Mother, President of Emerson School PTA and then North Park School PTA, Lifetime Member of Nebraska PTA, First United Methodist Church Circle Leader and belonged to Bridge Club. Alta was a wonderful cook and best known for her cinnamon rolls and black bottom pies. Alta may best be remembered for her role as "mom," welcoming the endless parade of her children's friends into their family home, chauffeuring kids to ballgames, helping with paper routes, and organizing neighborhood carnivals that occurred in the Walters' backyard. But her children, and grandchildren, will most remember her for "Alta's breakfast song," which was sung early, every morning, and with gusto to roust sleepy heads from beds.
