She was born to William and Elizabeth (Germer) Koenig in Plymouth, Nebraska, on September 8, 1920. Alta was baptized at Saint Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Plymouth on September 26, 1920, and confirmed at Saint Paul’s on June 10, 1934. She graduated from Plymouth High School with the Class of 1938. She worked as a housekeeper in Lincoln after graduation. Alta then married Ivan Koch at Saint Paul’s on November 2, 1941. Ivan and Alta made their home 1/4 mile west of Clatonia, Nebraska, where they farmed and raised their three sons, Terry, Rodney and Doyle. Alta was an active member of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Clatonia, the Extension Club of Clatonia and the American Legion Auxillary in Plymouth. Following Ivan’s death in 1972, Alta entered the workforce, working first at the cafe in Hallam and then in retail at J.M. McDonald in Beatrice, Nebraska. Alta took pride in her work and loved helping others shop for clothes. On January 23, 1982, Alta married Adrian “Zik” Zikmund of Wilber, which is where they made their home until Zik’s death in 2006. During their years together, Zik and Alta traveled with friends and family to places such as Thailand, Germany and Czechoslovakia, and boarded many cruises. They visited Alaska and Hawaii and different parts of the continental United States, often times stopping to visit extended family. In later years, they enjoyed senior citizen bus trips to more local attractions. Alta moved to Samaritan Springs in Beatrice in 2006 before relocating to The Parsons House in Omaha in 2012. In addition to her love for travel, Alta enjoyed shopping, gardening, playing cards and playing bingo, but most of all she loved her family and she especially loved cooking for them.
