Henry was born to Henry Albritton Sr. and Anna Chale Johnson Albritton on November 6, 1932. Family was important to Henry from a young age, and he carried this love as he grew his own family. Henry married Arleda Robbins and began their family which grew to include four daughters. Henry will be remembered for the endless love and support he showed them throughout their entire lives. Later in life, Henry married Eva Louise Childers. The pair shared their golden years together and were faithful companions for seven years.
Henry was a hard worker and servant to his country. After high school, he joined the U.S. Army where he served as a Sergeant. After retiring from the Army, he joined Beckham Construction Company and worked alongside Mr. Beckham for many years.
