Alberta Brown

Alberta Debora Brown, age 75, of Pekin, Indiana returned to her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, with loving family by her side. She was born on August 21, 1950, in Louisville, Kentucky to the late Hoyt and Catherine (Weber) Thompson. Alberta had a kind heart and found it hard to say no to anyone who needed her help. She enjoyed shopping and collecting various items from glass beads to shot glasses. She loved butterflies and also loved cooking. Her family will fondly remember her roast and fried potatoes and her chili pan which was handed down by her grandmother to her mother and then to Alberta. Her true passion, however, was her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Spending time with them and creating special memories is what Alberta held most dear to her heart. She will be truly missed by all those who knew and loved her. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Ronnie, Sonny, Albert, James Robert, Jimmy, Brenda and Tubby.

She leaves to honor and cherish her memory her children, Tina Brooks, Ricky Brown, Missy Phillips (James), Guy Wilson, III (Christy), Denise Taylor, and Robert Wilson (Rachel); grandchildren, Indeia, Brianna, Allison, Morgan, Summer, Kraig, Peyton and numerous more; 6 great-grandchildren; sister, Patricia Ewing, beloved partner, Bobby Killebrew and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
