SHIRLEY ALBRITTON Obituary

SHIRLEY ALBRITTON Shirley Fay Albritton, age 63, of Las Vegas, passed away Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014. She was born Aug. 18, 1951, in Orlando, Fla., to Luna and Vernon Albritton. Shirley was a resident of Las Vegas for 10 years. Prior to living in Las Vegas, Shirley spent most of her life in Florida. Shirley was preceded in death by her parents. She leaves behind many cousins and friends. Shirley made friends easily and never met a stranger. She loved watching old movies and anything Elvis Presley, but she loved her dog, Bella, more than anything in this world. Shirley's family does not live in Las Vegas, but they would like to thank her amazing friends for their companionship and support of Shirley over the last decade. Her family would also like to thank her church for holding a memorial for her Las Vegas friends, whom Shirley considered family. Shirley's life will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25, at the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1801 S. Monte Cristo Way, Las Vegas, NV 89117 (corner of Oakey and Monte Cristo). Shirley's family will also be having a memorial for her family and friends in Florida.

I am so sad to lose my good friend, Shirley. She was so looking forward to coming back to Florida. I just found out the devastating news and am so saddened that I will never see her again here, but I do look forward to seeing her again in heaven. What a sweet, kind, funny person she was and will be missed very much.

I have known Shirley for a long time. I am so happy I was able to visit Shirley on my last trip out that way in March. I only wish I would have been able to stay longer. I regret that we didn't start planning her trip back to Florida a bit sooner. We'll meet again. God bless you Shirley, we all love you and miss you!

Really wish Shirley would have made it back to Florida for Thanksgiving like she hoped to see her family. I'm glad I was able to visit her two years ago and stay with her and Bella. Shirley and I although cousins, because of our age difference we didn't become friends until after I was in my mid twenties and my first trip to Vegas was with her. We had many laughs and memories that I will cherish. I'm glad she is with her parents now and look forward to seeing her again.

Shirley was the only cousin that my brother and I had
on the Albritton side of our family. We had lost contact
with her until about two years. But, both of us had some fun phone calls with her these past two years.
And, I was looking forward to her moving back to
Florida within a month or so. She is in a better place
now but I'll miss her until we meet again.

Haven't seen my 1st cousin in years, but I have been blessed to have many phone conversations with Shirley the past two years. We had talked about visiting in Florida or Las Vegas. I am very sad now that the trip was not ever planned. I am sure Shirley will be taken care of forever in Heaven.

Love, Chuck Albritton
