Betty A. Pittman, 101, a resident of Homewood at Martinsburg, formerly of Brooks Mills, passed away Tuesday at the home. Betty was born in Leamersville, the daughter of the late Frank and Amanda (Hoover) Langham. In August 1939, Betty married Earl G. Pittman of Newry, who preceded her in death in 1987.
Surviving are her four children, Donna Dick of Monroe, Va., Kenneth Pittman of Duncansville, Anita Ferry of Lumberton, N.C., and Thomas Pittman of Coronado, Calif.; nine grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a daughter, Carol, in 1944.
Betty grew up on her family’s small farm and she attended a one-room schoolhouse close to her home. She graduated from the Morrisons Cove High School in 1936. She was a lifelong member of Leamersville Church of the Brethren.
Betty was a loving wife and mother. She spent some of her later years traveling, including numerous trips to California and Virginia. Betty was a 14-year resident of Homewood at Martinsburg, living independently until age 99. She often said the Lord must have had a reason for keeping her alive so long.
A private service will be held at the convenience of the family. Arrangements are by the Todd T. Thompson Funeral Home Inc., Roaring Spring.
