Delsie Britt

Delsie Marie Britt, 88,

beloved wife, mother, grandmother

and great-grandmother

was welcomed home into the

loving arms of her Lord and

Savior and singing angels on Jan.

2, 2008.

Born May 5, 1919, in Toyah,

Texas, to Mr. and Mrs. Reeves

Burchard. Delsie was happily

married for 55 years to the love

of her life, William Roy Britt,

now deceased. They moved to

Gurdon in April 1952 and were

members of the First United

Methodist Church .

She was far from being just a

homemaker. She was a loving

mother that taught responsibility,

work and how to laugh when

working. She was a gracious

hostess that made everyone feel

loved and welcomed the minute

they entered her home. She was a

talented seamstress and worked

beside her husband whether it

was working cattle, planting pine

trees or hauling hay. She loved

the outdoors, gardening, growing

flowers and singing with joy in

her heart. She gave to many,

never expecting anything in

return. She loved unconditionally

and could find positive in all

things.

We truly lost a great mother,

grandmother, great-grandmother

and friend. She will live in our

hearts and memories.

Survivors include her son,

Roy and wife George Ann Britt

of Gurdon; three daughters, Ann

and husband Glenn Lane of

Mammoth Springs, Nan and husband

Ray Waggoner of Dallas,

Texas and Linda and husband

Gene Brown of Hot Springs;16

grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren

and one great-great

grandchild.

Her grandsons served as her

pallbearers.
