WILTON — Georgia Mary Brown, 84, of Wilton, died Monday, Dec. 20, at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on Jan. 26, 1926, in Hamden, a daughter of John C. and Ruby (Ellingwood) Knight.

On March 22, 1951, she married Mansfield Wallace Brown in Farmington. They made their home in Wilton, where they raised their three children. Georgia worked for more than 17 years at G.H. Bass in Wilton, retiring in 1984.

A wonderful craftswoman and knitter, she made countless hats, mittens, sweaters and dishcloths for her family and friends who also enjoyed the fruits of her labor in the kitchen, where she was known for her pies, biscuits, yeast rolls, peanut butter and chocolate fudge. Georgia enjoyed the company of her family, especially her grandchildren, collecting assorted frog crafts, and especially her beloved dog, Herbie-Q.

She is survived by her children, Earlene Judd of Fayette, Norman Brown and his wife, Carol, of Livermore Falls and Tammy McNally and her husband, David, of New Gloucester; 13 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; a brother-in-law, Earl Brown Sr. and his wife, Marie, of Wilton; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Mansfield, in 1978; and a great-grandson, T.J. Judd.
