She was born Oct. 7, 1934, in Boston, Mass., the daughter of John Foster and Doris Mary (Leonard) Heald.

She was employed for many years as an office manager at American Glass Company in Waterville. She was a devoted member and former president of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 5 and a lifetime member of the VFW.
Alta always enjoyed making whoopie pies and Lambert spaghetti dinners. She had a funny sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. She had a wonderful personality and was loved by many.
Alta is survived by four daughters, Linda Gormly of R.I., Darlene Golodetz of Waterville, Lisa Lambert of Winslow and Lori Peterson of Fairfield; her son, Chuck Lambert and wife Linda of Winslow; granddaughters Alaina Lambert of Winslow, Taylor Rodriguez of Winslow, Meghan Caromile and husband Bruce of R.I., Krysten Gormly of Washington, D.C., Jennifer Willette of Vassalboro and Cassandra Conary of Waterville; grandsons, Josh Gormly of R.I. and Derek Harris of Waterville; seven great-granddaughters and five great-grandsons; her sister Germaine Gooldrup of Waterville. She had many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by daughters Karen Golodetz and Norma Willette.
The family would like to acknowledge and give so much thanks to Beacon Health Hospice, and a very special caregiver, Ashley Dionne, who was with her since June 2017. She took great care of our mother and loved her too. Many thanks to Dottie from Helping Hands, who also helped care for her, and she enjoyed her company and friendship.
A celebration of her life will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23 at the VFW in Waterville.
In lieu of flowers, friends wishing may make donations in Alta’s memory to a charity of one’s choice or the hospice company Amedisys Inc. (Attn: Amedisys Foundation, 3854 American Way, Suite A, Baton Rouge, LA 70816).
