Lois E. (Richardson) Pittman

Lois Elizabeth Richardson Pittman was born on December 29, 1933, in Cottondale, Florida to the late Robert Richardson (father) and Essie B. Russ (mother).

She later united in Holy Matrimony to the late Mathew J. Pittman where they together had a beloved daughter, Glinda Britt Dudley, who also preceded her in death. Lois had three siblings which proceeded her in death: Clora B. Terry, James A. Richardson and Eddie “Bo” Richardson.

During the early years of her childhood, she discovered a love for the Lord and decided to give her life to Christ. Lois became a member of St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church (St Mary MBC) in Jacob City, FL, and served diligently in many capacities of the church.  Lois served on the Usher Board, sang in the choir, and served on the kitchen hospitality committee. She was very profound and passionate about her love for Jesus and did not allow the walls of St. Mary to limit her service. She was always involved with her church, her family, her community, her job, and with any who she could gain the opportunity to share kindness toward and make you laugh. Lois was the seamless glue that would gently hold things together for her family and friends.
