STRUGGLING WITH GRIEF Finding Peace during the Holidays By Ann Cipperly 60 EAST ALABAMA LIVING
As the author of more than 20 books and countless newspaper columns, Walter Albritton has been a beloved minister serving several churches for more 70 years. After helping many with his book, Struggling with Grief, Finding Peace, after his wife, Dean B. Albritton, died in 2020, the minister updated the book. After losing a loved one, Thanksgiving and Christmas can be difficult. Walter offers suggestions for the upcoming holiday season for those who have lost a loved one. A native of Wetumpka where he finished high school, Walter is a graduate of Auburn University and received a Master’s Degree at Emory University. He completed the first half of his theological studies at Vanderbilt University. In June 1989, Albritton was appointed pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church in Opelika. While he was pastor, the church experienced tremendous growth and outreach to the community. He retired in 2002. Currently, in his 72nd year of ministry, Walter serves at Saint James Church (Global Methodist) in Montgomery and is co-pastor of New Walk of Life Church in Montgomery, an African-American congregation. Walter and Dean were blessed with five sons, 12 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and two great, great grandchildren. Their great-grandson, born this past July, was named Dean Henry Albritton, which brought great joy to Walter when he held a great-grandson named after his wife. Walter lives in a cabin near where he grew up. While the pastor says he loves the Lord Jesus, his family, anything Auburn, fried chicken and watermelon, his passion is sharing the good news of Jesus. The 91-year-old also has a passion for helping others. EAST ALABAMA LIVING 61
