Frances Pittman, born December 9, 1938, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at 3:16 a.m., surrounded by love. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, creativity, and devotion that will be cherished forever.

A devoted mother, Frances dedicated her life to raising her two sons, Howard W. Pittman, Jr. and Brian S.

Pittman, Rachael Pittman, Jaxon Pittman, Samuel Pittman, and Pierson Pittman, Devin Pittman and Lauren Pittman; her niece, Tammy Gross; her nephews, Michael Day and Timothy Day; and her sister-in-law, Linda Day, along with countless friends who held her dear.

Frances was a woman of many talents and a deep well of creativity. She loved to write poetry, expressing her heart and spirit through words. Her passion for music filled her home and the lives of those around her, whether she was playing the piano, strumming the guitar, or singing with joy. She shared her gifts freely, and in doing so, brought light and beauty to all who knew her.
Her friends and family remember her most for her warmth. Frances had a gift for making everyone feel welcome, always ready with a smile, a hug, and a kiss both when you walked through the door and when you left. She embodied generosity, kindness, and compassion, never hesitating to put the needs of others before her own.

She touched countless lives with her gentle spirit, her laughter, and her unwavering love. Frances will be remembered not only as a wonderful mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, but also as a woman who lived her life with grace, humility, and an open heart.
Though she will be deeply missed, her legacy lives on in the love she gave, the memories she created, and the example she set for all who knew her.
