Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Ann Brown, of Portland Maine, 84, passed away on March 2nd 2023 at Maine Medical Center, after a long history of heart illness. Betty was born on November 15th, 1938, a daughter of Libro and Theresa Feroci. In January of 1956, Betty married the love of her life, Myron Leroy Brown Jr., where they raised 4 wonderful children in Portland, Maine. Myron and Betty were married for nearly 59 years and they frequently enjoyed taking long drives to see the state.
Elizabeth spent 21 years as a CNA for elderly residents at several healthcare facilities in Portland. Betty was a wonderful, Italian cook and care-taker. Everyone in their family would always look forward to Betty’s famous meatballs and sauce and fudge brownies at all the family events. She always kept a candy bowl out in her home for her grandchildren and would always have a sandwich ready in case any visitors were hungry. Betty was meticulous; her home was always in order; her pants were always pleated and she never missed a hair appointment. Her favorite hobby was shopping and going to lunch.
Betty is survived by her 4 children; Janet Legassie of Florida, Sheila Bellefontaine of Standish, Theresa Mussoline of Windham, and Jonathan Brown of Auburn. She is also survived by her 4 grandchildren Bryan Bellefontaine, Breanna Bellefontaine-Krupski, Arianna Mellado, Guiliana Brown and two great grandchildren, Lainey Mellado and Gabriel Krupski.
