Rita "Alta" Peterson, 94, of Manistique, Mi., passed away Monday, April 23, 2018 at Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital in Manistique.

Over the years, she crocheted hundreds of chooks for local churches, schools and various other organizations. In her earlier years, she enjoyed dancing and riding her motorcycle.

She is survived by her twin sons, Darryl (Kathy) Peterson of Cooks and Daniel (Linda) Peterson of Stevens Point; a daughter, Alane (John) Wills of Menominee; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; a brother, Vern "Bunny" Popour and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents and ex-husband, she was preceded in death by an infant son, Arden; five brothers, Raymond "Babe" Popour, Edward "Pete" Popour, Floyd "Polly" Popour, Richard "Manny" Popour and infant, Raymond Leonard Popour; and five sisters, Lila Desjarden, Verma Rochefort, Lorna Rochefort, Velida Vanderville and infant, Mary Popour.
