Edith Virginia (Gramby) Britton

"This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through; My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue; The angels are beckon me through heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore" 

We stand in humble submission to the will of God along with this Britton Family to promulgate the earthly transition of Mother Edith "Nana" Britton. Mother Britton, age 91 of 806 Virginia Street, Elizabeth City, NC, ended life's journey peacefully with family and friends surrounding her bedside during the 5:00 p.m. hour on Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at her residence.

Dr. Kelvin McDonald, Sr., serves as pastor. Entombment of her earthly remains will be in West Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery. A viewing and visitation will take place on Friday at Poole's Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Hertford, NC from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
