Obituary

Harriett S. Albritton, 90, of Pensacola, FL passed away on Sunday, July 12, 2015. Harriett was born in Robertsville, MO on October 7, 1924 and raised on a farm where she lived until her 18th birthday. She then moved to St. Louis and joined the Marine Corps Reserve and was called to active duty in March of 1951. She proudly served for 7 years. In 1956 she met and married the love of her life, Shelby Albritton. Shelby was a Navy Chief Petty Officer, and they were transferred to various military installations all over the world. Harriett was able to work in the federal civil service program at each of the bases where they were stationed. Two of her favorite tours of duty with Shelby were in the Philippines and the Panama Canal Zone. They were transferred back to Pensacola for Shelby's final tour in 1971. Harriett then became an employee of the Naval Air Rework Facility until her retirement in 1985. But, she never really retired. She volunteered with various organizations including the I.R.S., Florida Highway Patrol, the Elks Lodge and Navy Relief. She was a member of the American Legion, the Warrington Elks Lodge, the Women's Business Association and the Moose Lodge. She was an animal lover and over the years had many dogs and cats.
