Betty Louvema Brown

Betty Louvema Brown, age 92, of Alto, Georgia, met Jesus on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.

Ms. Brown was born on September 23, 1933, in Habersham County, Georgia, to the late John Dewey Brown and Hazel Gerrin Brown. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Diane King, and her sister, Edna Brown Jones.

Betty was a member of Crossroads Baptist Church. She was a retired inspector with Synthetic Industries, having served for 15 years. Most importantly, she will be remembered as a loving mother. Betty was also an amazing grandmother, affectionately known as “Granny” to her grandchildren and “Granny Brown” to her great-grandchildren. Those names were spoken with love, often followed by laughter and hugs. She had a headstrong nature that those who knew her came to both admire and expect. Betty believed in standing her ground, speaking her mind, and, yes, having the last word.

Survivors include her son, Wayne King, of Clermont; daughter and son-in-law, Joyce and Larry Melton, of Cornelia; sisters, Frances Jones, Alto; Eunice Clark, Alto; Mildred Jones, Lawrenceville; Janice Simpson, Alto; Joan Lynn, Baldwin; Jackie McConnell, Alto; brothers, Milton Brown, Alto; Harold Brown, Alto; Eldridge Brown, Lula; grandchildren, Patrice King (Rick) Womack, Sandy King (Michael) Todd, Brooke (Levi) Westbrook; Bradley Motes; great-grandchildren, Joshua (Maddison) Womack, Alyssa (Levi) Royston, Destiny (Davey Sanders) Martin, Caitlynn Motes, Emily Motes; great-great grandchildren, Charlie Cate Womack, Madelynn Agler; and numerous nieces and nephews.
