Margaret J. Pittman

MARGARET JEAN PITTMAN was born on May 20, 1934 in Littleton, North Carolina to the late Carrie Alston and Willie Ben Williams. At a very young age, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She began her formal education within the Littleton, North Carolina Public School System. In 1952 she earned her High School Diploma from Mciver High in Littleton, North Carolina and moved to Philadelphia and resided with her Aunt Elizabeth (known as Aunt Liz). After a short stay in Philadelphia, she embarked on her journey and moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 1953. She later met and married James Pittman. Through this union two sons were born, Kevin Pittman and Keith Pittman. Margaret was employed as a seamstress with several clothing manufacturers. She also worked as a Teacher's Aide at Cecil Elementary School. Later in her career, she attended the Community College of Baltimore and earned a GNA and worked as a Private Nursing Assistant providing care and preparing cooked meals for her patients living in home care. To all that knew Jean, they were aware of her many hobbies such as sewing, crocheting, gardening and cooking. Her home displayed a beautiful flower garden in the front and an immaculate vegetable garden in the back. Family members best remember the holiday meals that were prepared for all to enjoy and to share the togetherness and family love. Margaret began a religious crusade with her husband, James, and were students in the teaching with the Jehovah Witnesses. They continued to study until the passing of James Pittman on June 19, 2013 and she became too ill to attend alone. Although dealing with a lengthy illness, Margaret lived a long life of 90 years old; however, she departed this life on December 16, 2024. In Celebration of her life, she leaves to cherish her memory: two sons, Kevin Pittman and Keith Pittman; two daughters-in-law, Doris J. Pittman, Victoria Wyche; two sisters, Willie Bea Brown and Bernice Williams, four sisters-in-law, Shirley Muse, Minnie Pittman, Richardine Williams and Leola Williams; three grandchildren, Michael Skipwith, Lorraine Skipwith and Taylor Johnson Green; one Godson, Darryl Addison; and a host of nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
