Her stove top and table were always filled with everyone’s favorite food and Altia made sure no one left her house hungry. The birth of each niece, nephew, and cousin brought her joy as she cared for them as her own. Altia’s gentle words and servant’s heart meant that others always came first. She was the salt of the earth. Her quiet strength, listening ear and humble nature will be missed by all.
In addition to her parents, Altia was proceed in death by her infant son: James Kenneth and her three brothers: Carl Junior Polly. Jimmy Taylor, and Donnie Taylor. She was also proceeded in death by brother-in-law, Jay Vanover and her precious nephew, “Little Jay” Vanover.
