Alberta Louise Brown, the beloved daughter of the late Arthur James Brown, Sr. and Ethel Bell Brown, was born on June 28,1957. She was affectionately known as “Bert” or “Berk” by most of her family and friends. She was lovingly reared by her Aunt and Uncle Ida and John Parker in Quitman Georgia. Alberta received her formal education through the Brooks County School system where she graduated in 1975.

At an early age, Bert accepted Christ as her personal Savior and was a dedicated member of Bethel AME Church until her health declined.
