After that they began a 10-year journey in the Air Force following Bill's flying career, moving 13 times in those 10 years, but making friends that have endured through today. In 1979, Bill's MS required his medical retirement and another door was opened. They moved to Stone Mountain, Ga., where they lived for four years. Because of an opportunity to transfer to an office in Dallas, they moved to Plano and lived there for 13 years. In 1998, they moved back home to Fort Worth; it took a while, but they finally came back to their roots.

Susan retired after 20 years of dedicated service as a flight attendant with American Airlines on Nov. 30, last year. She also was an instructor at the flight academy for several years. Throughout her career, she was always noted for that wonderful smile and treating each passenger as they were the only one on the flight. She was so loved by her fellow flight attendants and instructors.

Involvement: that was Susan's passion throughout her life. First, her children, Jennifer and David, were always her top priority. She made sure she was at every dance recital, school play, soccer game, softball game, baseball, etc. Her love for both of them only grew stronger throughout her life. When the grandchildren, Cameron, Bailey and Corbin, were born, that dedication to their lives continued. Where to start? Officer's Wives Club, Junior Leagues of Atlanta, Plano and Fort Worth. Fort Worth Women's Club. Colonial Country Club. First Grandmother's Club. Deacon, Elder, Sunday School President, Prayer Shawl Ministry, Needler's, Children's Closet, Christmas Angels at University Christian Church.

Despite not graduating from TCU, the purple blood flowed in her veins. She was one of only a few non-graduates to serve on the Clark Society Board. A TCU sporting event . . . she was there. I have lost my very best friend and "wingman"!

Interment: 2 p.m. Monday in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Memorials: In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to St. Luke's United Methodist Church.

Britt was born and raised in Fort Worth, and attended Carter Riverside High School, TCU and graduated from North Texas State University. After returning from the Army, he married his high school sweetheart, Eileen, and began raising his family. They had three children, Nancy, Frank and Janice, and raised them in Haltom City. Britt spent many years working at Graybar Electric before starting his own electrical contracting company, American Electric. Britt was a fabulous husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He was a godly man of character, integrity and love, which was evident in the way he raised his family and the way he ran his business. He was a great servant leader for over 50 years at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, and in his many years of leadership with Boy Scout Troop 122, Meals on Wheels, mission trips, and other endeavors. Britt always made things joyful, whether it was telling funny stories to his grandkids, wearing silly holiday ties or just pulling pranks on his family or friends. His thoughtfulness, kindness and gentleness stood out to all. He maintained deep, long-term friendships with golfing friends, bridge club members and many others. He loved spending time with family and trading stories with his children and grandchildren.

After Eileen passed away in 2007, Britt married Betty Cole Broadie in 2010, whom he had known since childhood, and they shared the later years of his life together. Her love and care helped him through his final journey with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Everyone he talked to knew, emphatically, that Jesus was the Lord of his life and died on the cross for his sins. Whether encouraging nurses, his children or his grandchildren to read different parts of the Bible, his comment was, "I don't know why, but I know God is in control." We rest peacefully in that declaration, and know that the first words he heard in heaven were, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Britt was preceded in death by his wife, Eileen; daughter, Janice; and brothers, Walter and Franz.

Survivors: Wife, Betty; sister, Jackie Doyle; brother, Orein Browning; daughter, Nancy Stroud and husband, Laythan; son, Frank Schubert and wife, Lisa; and his son-in-law, Guy Sellers and his wife, Valerie.

Harold Newton Nesbitt Sr. was born Sept. 14, 1919, in Riverside Addition of Fort Worth, the first born son of Guy Newton Nesbitt and Lola May Totten Nesbitt. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Cmdr. James David Nesbitt, USN; his wife of 67 years, Irene James Nesbitt; and their oldest son, Harold "Hal" Newton Nesbitt Jr. He graduated in the first graduating class from Riverside High School. He graduated from North Texas Agricultural College, now UTA, with an associate of science degree in industrial aeronautical engineering. He was appointed a cadet captain in the College Corps of Cadets. He spent a lifetime in parallel civilian and military careers. He received a private pilot's license and an aircraft and engine mechanic license. After graduating from NTAC in June 1940, he was hired as an instructor in the National Defense Vocational Training Program conducted by the college.

By this time World War II was intensifying, he was single with a draft deferment, draftees were being assigned to the Army Infantry, and volunteers were being accepted by all branches of the military. The search began for a military unit to which he could volunteer enlistment. He had already investigated flight training and found that he could not pass the physical for either the Navy or Air Force. Events happened rapidly in late 1942 and early 1943. He left the vocational training program in March 1942 and was hired by Convair, now Lockheed Martin. He enlisted in the Navy in November, 1942 as an aviation machinist mate second class (AMM2C) and was stationed at the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi Assembly and Repair Facility. In January 1943, he returned to Fort Worth on a week's leave and married Irene James. They returned to Corpus Christi and set up housekeeping. In April 1943, he was promoted to AMM1C and the following July was appointed an ensign US Naval Reserve aviation specialist. His duty assignment was Assistant Superintendent Structures Division Assembly and Repair at Corpus Christi. In February 1946 after a month duty at Naval Test Station Philadelphia he was released from active duty and he and Irene returned to Fort Worth. They bought a house, set up housekeeping, and started to raise a family.

He was hired back by General Dynamics and spent 15 years at the Fort Worth plant from which he retired. He was then hired by Vought Aircraft, now Triumph Aerostructures, and was assigned duty at LTV Missile and Space Division, now Lockheed Martin. He retired after 26 years at the Grand Prairie facility ending his civilian career. His release from active duty did not end his military career. Shortly after returning to Fort Worth, he requested assignment to one of the newly formed Ready Reserve Units at the Naval Air Station Dallas. This required his attending drills one weekend each month and performing Active Duty for Training (ACDUTRA) two weeks each year. He was the aircraft maintenance officer of several different squadrons as the type of aircraft and missions changed. In March 1970 he was transferred to the Retired Reserve having spent 27 years, 7 months and 26 days in his naval career. He was retired at the rank of commander and was the commanding officer of a Naval Weapons Training Unit (WETU) at Naval Air Station Dallas. This ended his naval career.
