MORRILL — Alta L. Brown, 96 of Morrill, went to be with her Lord and savior on March 1, 2021 in Belfast.

She was born in Swanville, Maine on May 11, 1924 to Charles and Flora (Hall) Lenfest. Alta attended Crosby High School, met and married Roderick Brown where they settled in Morrill and raised five children together.

Alta loved family get-togethers, spending time with family and sharing stories of her childhood. In 2019 she was the holder of the Boston Cane, as the oldest resident in the town of Morrill. Alta and Roderick were past members of Faith Temple Church where they also served in the food pantry.

She was predeceased by her parents; her husband of 58 years, Roderick Brown; sons in law Barry Littlefield and Larry DellaMattera; and grandson Anthony Kane.
