All family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of her Life at 11 am to 1 pm on Friday, January 4, at Flahiff Funeral Home, Caldwell. Everyone is welcome to share their memories of Altha.

  Altha was born in Huston, Idaho on January 3, 1922, the youngest child of J. David and Mable (Newell) Stevenson.

  The family moved to California while Altha was a small child and she grew up in Southern California. She attended Fullerton Junior College and married before returning to Idaho in 1946.

  Altha was employed at the Marsing Lumber Yard for a number of years before working in real estate. She was a realtor/broker/home builder in the Caldwell area for many years. After retirement she volunteered at the West Valley Medical Center. She was an active member of the Presbyterian Church in Homedale and Caldwell. She enjoyed painting, sewing, cooking, and attending events at the College of Idaho.

  She is survived by son Jerry (Carolyn) Bish of Sullivan, IL, grandson Aaron Bish of San Mateo, CA, and several nieces, nephews and cousins.  She was preceded in death by her parents and four brothers, Pat, Carroll, Earl and Alvin Stevenson.

  Her wish was to live in her home for the rest of her life and thanks to loving caregivers her son was able to honor her request.

  Her remains will be interred in the Marsing-Homedale Cemetery.
