Alton Montgomery

Alton T. Montgomery of Perryville, passed on to be with the Lord Jesus, on March 22, 2011, at the age of 84, while at his home. He was an honor to his God, HIS country and his family. Alton was born on Petit Jean Mtn., July 10, 1926, to Otis and Maudie Montgomery. Alton worked as a stone mason and also served in the world's greatest Navy during WWII. He returned home as a Veteran to marry Marcelle Hawkins, his Bride of 65-years. They made their home Maumelle Creek Valley, where they had both grown up. There, they raised three daughters; Judy Montgomery, Janey Daniel (Leroy) and Regina Moore (Larry). They gave Alton and Marcelle seven grandchildren; Jimmy Daniel, Sharon and Paul Tom Bailey, Holly Daniel Hayes, Jeanette Daniel (who welcomes him home in Heaven), Jennifer Bailey Rankin and Stephanie Moore Black. From their unions, they produced nine great-grandchildren and three great-great-granchildren for Alton and Marclle. Alton and his family celebrated the Lord Jesus Christ and served Him most of their lives, in fellowship at the Harmony Baptist Church in Maumelle Valley (William's Jct.). No viewing will be held. Services will be provided by the North Little Rock Funeral Home, held at the church on Saturday, March 26th, at 10 a.m., located at 3195 Highway 10. There will be an informal reception following the funeral on Saturday, around noon, at Marcelle's home. The family will be receiving guests throughout the week at Marcelle's home, Wednesday-Friday from noon, until evening. Alton is survived by his wife, Marcelle, the above mentioned, and his four sisters; Jean Voss of Conway, Pat Jones of Texas, Bobbie McIntyre of Maumelle Valley and Jeri Sherrill of Georgia.
