Mr. Maurice Ray Britt, 85, of Lumberton, NC, passed away Saturday, November 27, 2021, at 3:50am at Regency Hospital in Florence SC.  He was born in Robeson County, NC on May 7, 1936 to the late Evangeline Barnes Britt Ludlum and Bert Britt.

He served 3 years and 8 months in the U.S. Navy. After the Navy, he became a truck driver. It was his happy place. He drove all over the country and if he had a chance to tell you about one of his trips, you can bet you knew every road and truck stop along that route. He was a man who lived his life the way he wanted to. He was a very social person and had a love for his dogs.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by two sons, Rex Britt and Ray-Ray Britt; and his siblings: Albert, James, Billy, and Jerry Britt and Elizabeth Carter.

Maurice is survived by his daughters, Sandra Beaudreau and husband Mark of Rhode Island and Patty Benoit of Connecticut; his daughter-in-law, Sharon Britt of Lumberton, NC; Alisa Bryant, whom he considered to be like a daughter, and her boyfriend Steve McLain of Lumberton, NC; his brother, Julian Britt of North Carolina; his sister, Emojean Joseph of Connecticut; along with his many grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
