Remembering Alta Carroll Lavigne (1920-2015

With her passing, only four of the Russell Springs High School Class of 1941 survive.

Special to ColumbiaMagazine.com

Alta and her twin brother Alva (d. 2008) both were members of the Russell Springs High School class of 1941. The following comments about her appeared in a class review published in the Times Journal in the spring of 1950:
"Of course, no one could ever forget how well represented our class was with twins, so we find Alta Chrisman heading this list. Alta received many honors in school for her cooperation and loyalty so it's not surprising to know she still carries these traits in guiding the futures in the City Graded School of Campbellsville, Ky. She attended college right after graduation and entered the teaching profession, where she has remained despite the fact that she is married and has a home to care for. She is married to Gordon Carroll and lives in Elkhorn, Ky."
Thirty-three young women and men comprised the Russell Springs High graduating class of 1941. With Alta's passing, only four members survive. See Also: Alta Carroll Lavigne, Taylor County, KY (1920-2015)
