Mary Elaine Brittain (Armstrong), 86, of New Galilee peacefully entered her Heavenly home on her birthday, June 9th 2025, after a long journey with Alzheimer’s disease.
Mary was born to the late Carl Armstrong and Roberta Armstrong Myers (McKissick) in Darlington, PA.
A graduate of Darlington High School, Mary also graduated from Garfield Business School in Beaver Falls and Santa Ana College in California. After relocating to Florida, Mary worked as a team leader in the medical tray department at Johnson and Johnson.
Mary was predeceased by her father in 1950, her mother in 2012, a brother (Donald Armstrong) in 1960 and her husband (Herman Muller) in 2022. She was also predeceased by her first husband John R. Brittain Jr., who was the father of her surviving children Alan Brittain, Debra (Dave) Shee and Jon (Teresa) Brittain.
Also surviving Mary is her sister Linda Smith, her four grandchildren Christie (Bob Marzec) Shee, Casey Shee, Wesley and Mark Brittain, as well as several cousins.
Although Mary enjoyed many hobbies including crocheting, oil painting, and singing, her greatest joys in life were her children, grandchildren and serving her Lord. Mary was an active member of Our Father’s House church in Odessa Florida, and she loved singing with the Friendship Singers as they ministered to the residents of assisted living facilities and retirement homes. Mary’s sweet personality, friendly smile, and kind soul endeared her to all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.
Friends will be received on June 13th from 3:00-7:00pm at Gabauer-Lutton Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc., 117 Blackhawk Rd, Beaver Falls, PA 15010. A brief memorial service and committal will follow Mary’s viewing.
Mary’s family is forever grateful for the team of hospice employees from Good Samaritan Hospice for their wonderful, compassionate and dignified care. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Good Samaritan Hospice or Alzheimer’s Association in Mary’s memory.
