Alberta was born on May 29, 1938, in Clinton, Maine, the daughter of the late Ray and Vella (Brown) Proctor. She along with her late husband Frederick were dairy farmers for 42 years. It was on that farm that they built a life for themselves along with their daughters and grandkids. Fond memories were made while working hard on the farm.
Frederick and Alberta were avid race fans, fun times were had going to Unity, Oxford, and Loudon N.H. with their family. They also enjoyed spending time together at Lovejoy Pond. Once retired, they spent several years during the winter traveling the United States and enjoying all the sites.
Alberta enjoyed cooking, making crafts, and was famous for baking her delicious apple pie. She belonged to the Clinton Evening Extension and the Clinton Day Group Extension. She also enjoyed going to the Wednesday sewing group, sewing and laughing with her friends. She had a very special friend, Rita Fortin. They would have supper together and go on adventures when both of their husbands passed away.
She is survived by her daughter Stephanie Clark and husband Glen; grandchildren: Sarah Wishart-Rogers and husband Jake, Daniel Wishart and wife Stacey, Julie Salsbury and husband Bruce, and Dustin Gerow and wife Katie; great-grandchildren: Kloee, Riley, Zebadiah, Rory, Bella, Anna, Isabelle, Trent, Wesley, Zachary, Mariah, Chandler and Colton; great-great grandson, Cereese; siblings: Charles Proctor and companion Joyce, Richard Proctor, Theresa Whitaker and husband Myron "Butch", and Ralph Proctor and companion Margaret; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved cat, Miss Kitty.

Alberta was a cousin of mine through the Brown lineage. I had just had the pleasure of meeting her with her friend Rita Fortin. I am so sorry for this loss and wish there had been a bit more time of getting to know her.
My mother was Terry Elizabeth Brown/Eastwood/Spaulding. Her parents were Harold and Helena Brown. I believe Harold and Ray were brothers.
My condolences Toni Eastwood/MacDougall.
