Alita K. Butcher, 92, of Wethersfield, CT beloved wife of the late Louis Butcher to whom she was married for fifty years, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 23, 2026. She was born in Hartford on July 5, 1933, daughter of the late Anthony J. and Ruth (Bratton) Brewer.

Alita was the consummate mother and housewife, the meaning of which has lost its true value over time. She was always there for her four children and virtually raised her granddaughter Nicole. She loved cooking and baking for her family even when times were lean. She also loved sewing, often times the clothes our family wore, as well as knitting and quilting, but most notably she had an amazing green thumb and spent hours gardening to the delight of the family and our neighbors. Alita also loved traveling with family and friends and especially loved our vacations to the beaches at Siesta Key, Florida and more recently at Point of Woods.

Alita, Mom, Mimi's passing will leave a hole in our hearts which only time will heal, but we can take comfort in knowing she is in a better place. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her but always remembered for the love she showered upon us so unselfishly.

Alita leaves behind her loving daughter Kathleen M. Sinisi and her three sons, Louis Butcher, Jr., Anthony S. Butcher and Gerald K. Butcher and his wife Mary. She is also survived by her six grandchildren Nicole Sinisi, Thomas Butcher, Margaret Butcher and her husband Greg Hall, Audrey Woods and her husband Tyler, Ashley Butcher and her fiancé Dom Zboyovsky, and Emma Coleman and her husband Kevin, and her beautiful little great grandchild, Isla Woods, who unfortunately she never had a chance to meet.

Alita also leaves behind her brother Thomas Brewer and his wife Tana, her sister-in-law Marci Grzadzinski and her sister-in-law Paula Brewer, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom she cherished, but she especially loved the times she spent and telephone calls with her nieces Melissa Lantz and her husband Barry, and Amy Vann and her husband Matt.

Finally, Alita leaves behind her life-long friend Lois Young, which the word friend truly does not define the closeness of their relationship or the similar interests which they shared.

Funeral service for Alita will be private. The Dillon-Baxter Funeral Home, 1276 Berlin Tpke., Wethersfield, CT has charge of arrangements. A Celebration of Alita's life will be held later in the year. To share a memory of Alita, please visit www.dillonbaxter.com
