“Britt” as he preferred to be called, left us on Saturday, June 1st. Behind he left a smile and gentle kindness for everyone he met.
He specifically requested no formal funeral or memorial service. He wanted one last “reunion” where we can gather as friends and family, renew friendships and catch up with each other. In this request, he was really paying forward his best to each of us.
It will be hard not to cry for him, but you know he would have preferred a laugh and to know we are celebrating together as family and friends.
Marion is preceded in death by his parents, Olen D. Britt and Annie Westbrook Britt; wife, Margaret P. Britt.
Marion is survived by his sons, Phillip Britt, Andrew Britt, Russell Olson and Mark Olson; daughter, Carrie Britt; grandchildren, Jacob Britt, Kyle Britt, Cameron Britt, Courtney Olson, Tyler Olson, Casey Olson, Ryleigh Olson, and Justin Rickett.
