Final Salute

F. Michael “Britt” Brittingham, 78, of Vanderbilt, passed away Friday, November 21, 2025, in his residence in Flatwoods. Mike was born October 26, 1947, in Delmar, Del., to his parents, Wallace and Mabel Brittingham.

A graduate of Delmar Delaware High School, he served proudly in the U.S. Navy as a Seabee.

Following his military duty, he worked in construction as an electrician and was a member of the IBEW.

He enjoyed gardening, was an avid reader and was particularly fond of warm weather seasons. He preferred to drive when travelling as a road trip adventure was more exciting to him than airplane turbulence. His sense of humor was infectious, and he easily spread good cheer amongst friends and relatives and never met a stranger.

Mike is survived by his wife of 47 years, Sandy Brittingham. He was very proud of his daughters, Jayme and husband Matt Fullerton of Vanderbilt, Joan “Joanie” Brittingham and husband Michael Berg of New York City, N.Y.; and Kathryn “Kate” Brittingham and husband Lyle Warren of Vanderbilt. He adored his four grandchildren, Laurelin and Kevin Fullerton, Andy Reed and Eleanor Warren. In addition, he is survived by brothers: Stuart (Laura) Brittingham of Laurel, Del.; Shawn (Rosie) Brittingham of Delmar, Del.; Gordon (Cynthia) Brittingham of Kennesaw Ga.; his sister, Genelle (Parks) Byrd of Salisbury, Md.; along with several nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews, and a multitude of friends and loved ones who will remember him fondly. His golden retriever, Sadie will miss him.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers, Jeff Brittingham and Rennie Brittingham.

Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, November 30, in the ANDREW D. FERGUSON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIES, INC., 80 Morgantown Street, Uniontown, where visitation continues Monday, December 1, from 10 until the 11 a.m. hour of service. Internment will follow at the Flatwoods Cemetery, with Military Rites by Amvets Post 103
