Pitt, Evelyn

KILGORE - Funeral services for Evelyn Pitt, 75, of Longview, will be held at 10 a.m. 
today, August 29, 2007, at the chapel of Rader Funeral Home of Kilgore. The Reverend 
David Hampton will officiate.

Mrs. Pitt died Monday, August 27, 2007, at a local nursing center.

Evelyn was born May 1, 1932, in Malakoff. She was the third of four children. Her 
parents were H.P. Spicer and her mother and stepfather were George and Maggie Hall.

On August 10, 1947, she married G.S. "Pete" Pitt. They were married 55years. They 
lived in the home they built with their own hands in Lakeport for 53 years. In that 
home, they raised four children.

Evelyn was one of the first members of Trinity Baptist Church. She worked for the 
Longview ISD in the cafeteria until she retired. She moved to the Gregg Home for the 
Aged in January of 2004. She was a very happy and cheerful resident, and was cared 
for by a loving staff and friends until her death. To be a family member, friend, or 
just an acquaintance of Evelyn was a blessing. She was the definition of a caregiver, 
always helpful and loving. She was a joy to be around and always had a smile on her 
face.

Survivors include a brother, Raymond Spicer; sister, Betty Spicer; her children and 
their spouses, Roy and Carol Pitt, Rose and Tommy Elia, Diane and James Henry, and 
Bonnie and Laurie Sypert; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and numerous 
other loving family and friends survive her.

In lieu of flowers, please make a memorial donation to Gregg Home for the Aged, 144 
Hwy. 1252 W., Kilgore, TX 75662; or your favorite charity.
