Alta Jane Sproull

Alta Jane Sproull, a nurturing spirit and devoted member of her community, left this world on November 26, 2024, in the tranquil surroundings of Alpine, Texas. Born on August 27, 1947, in Birmingham, Alabama, Alta’s journey was one marked by compassion, devotion, and a zest for life that enriched all those who had the privilege to know her.

After earning her Bachelor of Arts degree from Stratford College, she went on to pursue her passion for caring at Weber State College of Nursing.

She embraced her role in the church community, cultivating relationships that reflected her gift for making strangers feel like family. Her kindness radiated outward, encompassing all aspects of her life—she was known for her hospitality, always inviting others into her heart.

Shopping brought her delight, and her love for animals, particularly her beloved cat, Cholene, filled her days with happiness. She cherished her role as a mother and grandmother, finding joy in the laughter and love of her family.

Alta leaves behind her two daughters, Claiborne Callahan and Michaeleen Callahan, who carry forward her legacy of love and compassion. Her cherished grandchildren, Rosemary Doucleff and Crawford Moore, will hold tight to the memories of their grandmother’s warmth.
