E. (Everett) Allan Britton passed away peacefully after a long, rich, and eventful life on Wednesday, April 17th. He is survived by: son, Richard L. and Christina (Halloran); son, Thomas A. and Debra (MacLaughlin); three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren: Ryan and Courtney (Dwyer), Luke and Ella; Adam and Susie (Rojas), Owen and Cora; and Kathryn Britton. He is also survived by two nieces and a nephew (Lisa and Scott Shockley, and Suzanne Fielden) and their families. Allan was predeceased by his loving wife Louise (Trusell) of 58 years.
A lifelong Wilmingtonian, Allan was a graduate of PS DuPont HS, Lehigh University and earned a masters degree from New York University. Allan served honorably in World War II in the MTO in the 12th Army Air Corp. He married Louise in 1946 and they had two sons. A second generation DuPont employee Allan had a thirty-plus year career in sales and middle management within the Plastics Division.
Allan loved the ocean and family vacations with the Shockley family. He was a life-long golfer (DuPont Country Club), card player, and painter. He and Louise moved to Stonegates in Greenville and enjoyed a rich and caring environment through and after Louise’s passing. The family would especially like to thank Mrs. Jane Fox and Mrs. Margot Kuniholm, as well as the residents and staff at Stonegates, who made Allan’s last years so enjoyable.
Services will be held at the Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church, 101 Old Kennett Rd, Wilmington, DE 19807 on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would suggest a donation to The Salvation Army.
