Lou Aleen Fuller Britton

Lou Aleen Fuller Britton was born in Merryville, Louisiana. At an early age, Lou moved to Baytown, Texas with her family. Lou attended Baytown Elementary, graduated from Robert E. Lee High School where she led cheers with gusto as one of the cheerleaders. She attended John McNeese University in Lake Charles, Louisiana and then attended the University of Houston. The need for workers during WWII, allowed Lou to start work at the Baytown Ordinance Works in the Accounting Department. She later transferred to the Humble Oil & Refining Company (now Exxon Mobil Corp.) and worked in their accounting department for over twenty years.

Lou was a loyal member of St. Marks United Methodist Church, serving on various committees and the administrative board. She was a charter member of the Beta Sigma Phi. Sorority, a board member of the Baytown Homeless Shelter, a member of the Goose Creek Country Club Garden Club, a member of the P. E. O. and an accomplished pianist. Lou was known for her gardening of caladiums and frangipanis (plumeria) specialties and her interludes of music - all styles and anything she enjoyed. Lou and her devoted husband Perry W. Britton traveled to many foreign countries and saw many sights - Africa being their favorite.

Her husband preceded Lou in death, as did her parents Talbot George Fuller and L. Jewell Stewart Fuller. Lou is survived by her sister, Mrs. Joy Stewart Fuller Stephens, and three nieces and their spouses: Lila Lou Stephens and Bryan Ackler of Tualatin, Oregon; Linda Lee Stephens and David Hopkins of Hillsboro, Oregon; and Lisa Stephens and Craig Molseed, of Lake Oswego, Oregon. Great nephews include Stephen A. Gresch of San Francisco, California and William Gresch and wife Jessica of Glendale, California. Mary Susan Plunk of Ingram, Texas, Mrs. Jan Brit Plunk, and sister-in-law Mrs. Mona Plunk, both of Silsbee, Texas, also survive her. Surviving cousins include Charlie Stewart and wife Anne and their son Lane Stewart of Groveton, Texas and Steve Stewart and wife Sally and their children David Stewart and Mary Alice Stewart of Houston, Texas. Lou is also survived by: Doctors: Dr. Christopher Hays and Dr. Faouk Barbandi; Pastors; Rev. and Mrs. Michael Proctor and Rev. Linda Tolan; Special Friends: Pat Cauley, Jo Hinkle, Jere and Loretta Johnson, Fred Theobald, Jr., Scott and Connie Walding, and George and Peggy Ward; Caregivers: Mrs. Paula Greene, Mrs. Rachel Kirkwood, Mrs. Hazel Proctor, Mrs. Shirley Robinson, and Mrs. Peggy Williams.

The family invites friends and loved ones to celebrate Lou's life with them at a memorial service January 11, 2014 at 2 p.m. in the sanctuary at St. Marks United Methodist church. A time for visitation will follow with a reception after the service in the activity center.
