Mr. Allbritton served in the United States Army during World War II.  After his service, he attended and graduated from Baylor University, Waco, Texas.  By profession, Bill was a geologist and employed by Sinclair Oil Corporation for many years and was later self-employed while living in Littleton, Colorado.  Bill married Donaldeen Robinson, his wife of over 50 years, on June 28, 1958, in Roswell, New Mexico.  Bill and Donaldeen moved from Midland, Texas to Ruston, Louisiana in 2011 to be near his nephew, Keith Rowe and his family.  One of Bill's favorite past times was watching Baylor Sports and Yelling "Sic 'em Bears!"  He also loved to hear and tell Baylor stories.  Bill was a member of Temple Baptist Church in Ruston, Louisiana.  Uncle Bill had a sweet disposition and a "sweet tooth".  While he was able, he enjoyed attending Bible study with Rev. Dale Oden at The Arbor and looked forward to the "sweet" treat Bro. Dale would bring each week.

Bill passed peacefully from this live into the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 7, 2019 in Ruston, Louisiana.  He was preceded in death by his parents, wife and nephew, John E.
