Frances Pittman Obituary

Donn: So sorry about Fran's passing. We had good times together with the two of you, Sara and I, and the Coulters. Many times, going out to eat and then playing table games. Also, I remember when we went to the beach down there, and Fran had a metal detector. She was so excited to go look for treasure. She didn't find any, but enjoyed the quest.

I am so sorry. May the concern and support of friends as well as cherished memories help sustain you at this time. When it was my turn a friend sent me a condolence card that said “In the still, quiet moments you can still feel the love.”

Donn.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You were one of my trainers back in the 1980's at BDD and although we probably drove you crazy, it sounds like you had someone nice to go home to. I retired from BDD in 2006, so your training took! My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Donn,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I don't know if I can put into words how much Fran's loss has impacted me and so many others who knew her. Fran had such a quick whit and a fantastic sense of humor. She was my YaYa sister and Euchre partner! Boy, the fun we had during those times!! I enjoyed going to estate sales with Fran and Louise and then to lunch to discuss all of our new treasures! I will really miss hoping into the van and all of the laughs we had! Fran was such a kind and thoughtful friend! She was one of the strongest women that I know! Her loss is a major one in my life!
Ted remembered when Fran was new in HR and he called her and disguised his voice and asked her all of these crazy questions about job openings. Fran was very polite and tried so hard to help him. When Louise and I realized it was Ted initiating Fran we quickly let her know that it was all a Ted gag! Oh how Fran laughed!! She also told Ted he'd better watch out because she would get him back! Fran was always prepared for Ted's prank calls!!
I miss you so much Fran my dear dear friend!!

Donn,
I just don't know how to express what a tragic loss Fran's passing has made to mine and so many other's lives. Fran's sharp whit and sense of humor was one of a kind. She was a special friend and my YaYa sister. I had so much fun going to estate sales with her and lunch afterwards discussing all of our new treasures! Fran was so kind but also one of the strongest women that I know!
Ted remembers the first time he called HR and got Fran. He was disguising his voice and asking ridiculous questions. She was so patient with him until Louise and I let her know that it was Ted initiating her to his weird teasing calls. We remembered her laughing so but also warning Ted that she would get him back! Goodbye my dear friend. I will miss you forever!

Dear Donn,
The Yocca family is so sorry to hear of Fran's passing. We have so many wonderful memories of both of you. We will always remember Fran's kindness to my mom and dad and her wonderful smile! Wishing you strength and peace.

I remember when Fran and I were on the Veterans Committee with DAR and made some nursing home visits together!! Sorry for your loss!!

DONN:
OUR PATHS FIRST CROSSED IN 1973. SUCH GRAND AND GLORIOUS YEARS SINCE THEN! FRAN WAS SUCH AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL, ALWAYS HELPFUL,WILLING AND SO ABLE TO TAKE ON ANY TASK1 A DOER NOT AFRAID TO TACKLE WHATEVER WAS TO BE DONE. FRIEND OF EVERYONE,CAREGIVER, THOUGHTFUL. WE ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT THIS. OUR PRAYERS AND CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND THE KITTY CATS! THEY WILL MISS HER TOO!

Donn,
We all miss Auntie Fran so much and will always treasure our memories of visits to Columbus and Mt. Pleasant over the years. We were looking forward to Fran's visit to CT when travel restrictions are lifted.
Call anytime. We all wish we were closer to SC to help more than by phone.
Love,
Boo, Carrie, Morgan and Lauren

Donn, I believe I met you once but then only kept track of Cousin Fran through my sister, Ann. It was so wonderful that she lFran was up for a visit at the same time as “Ann’s Walk” and we got to catch up some. We had the love of vintage, a sense of humor and Ann in common but it was her friendship with Ann that I loved most. My deepest sympathy to you.

Donn, I am so sorry for your loss. We will all miss her. She was always the strong one, the one we could count on. Dear friend, you will be missed.

Donn,

I am so sorry to hear of Fran's passing. Hearing her voice on your answering machine brought me to tears. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Donn:

Please know that I am truly saddened about the passing of Fran. Your dear wife was such a kind and gracious person, always genuine and so full of fun, so caring and encouraging: a special lady. We will all miss her......
God bless Fran and God bless You.

Sincerely,
Allen Young

The world will be a sadder place without Fran and her wit and sense of humor. Always such a joy to be around her. Donn, we are thinking of you and hoping that 52 years of memories bring you some comfort during this sorrowful time.

Dear Donn, although we never had the opportunity to meet Fran, we know she was wonderful to our son Joel. We are so grateful for that, and we know he thought the world of her. He always talked about the holiday celebrations he spent with you, and the warmth of your home. We are sorry for your sudden loss, and we send you our deepest sympathy, love and prayers.
