Alta Rison, 104, of La Porte, Indiana, passed away Tuesday, May 27, 2025 at Brickyard Healthcare, 1700 "I" Street, La Porte, IN

She was born May 10, 1921 in Hazard, Kentucky, the daughter of Ben Stacy and Cynthia (Combs) Stacy. On February 5, 1938 Alta Stacy and Ernest Rison were joined in wedlock in Hazard, Kentucky. They had three children and while Ernest was tending to the Filling Station they owned in Bowling Green, KY, Alta was busy raising the children, keeping the home in pristine condition and cooking wonderful meals for the family to enjoy. Finally settling in La Porte, Indiana in November of 1951, Alta attended Kingsbury Baptist Church, continued to take care of her family and made trips with them back to Hazard and Cincinnati to visit relatives. She loved her neighbors and enjoyed a little friendly baking competition with them from time to time. Alta enjoyed listening to Dulcimer music and was lucky enough to have Pastor JoEllyn Chadwick play for her in her waning hours. Her life was well lived and she was well loved by all who knew her.
