Alta Lee Hall was born on December 27, 1942 in Wynne, Arkansas, the 2nd of 5 children born to Everett Lee Hall and Alberta Maxine (Thomas) Hall. She was primarily raised in Wynne, where she began school. Alta learned at a very young age the value of hard work, as she spent a lot of time hoeing and picking cotton on the farm. Her family moved during her junior year to Maysville, where she graduated with the Warrior Class of 1961. Shortly after graduating high school, she went to work at Sherri Classics, a women's clothing manufacturer in Purcell. It was here that she met a young man named Bobby Perigo. They fell in love and began their life together, raising three sons Jeff, Steve, and Craig. Alta worked at Sherri Classics for more than 23 years, and later owned and operated Purcell Office Supply, Queen's Fashions and later worked in hospitality at the Postal Training Center. For the last two years, she has worked in the cafeteria for Lexington Public Schools. Alta was a hard worker, and was always busy doing something. She loved cooking her famous pies and desserts for all to enjoy. She enjoyed bowling with her sisters-in-law and friend as the "Rag Dolls" in area leagues and in state and national tournaments. She loved doing lunch and running errands with her sister Betty, going on big family vacations, tending to her yard and spending time with family and friends. She loved relaxing in her comfy chair with a good Louis L'Amour book, watching her vast collection of SciFi movies, and enjoying a cold diet Dr. Pepper. She was a woman of great faith and a member of the Purcell First Baptist Church. She will be dearly missed!
