I was in the first class Mrs. Pitts taught at South Plains in 1976. She was a wonderful teacher and became a friend. It was always a joy to meet up with her in a store or restaurant during the past several years. My prayers are with the family. She was a wonderful lady.

I’m so sorry to learn of her passing. My deepest sympathy goes to the family. Psalms 34:18 talks about Jehovah God being close to the brokenhearted and saving those who are crushed in spirit. I hope this can bring the family some comfort during this hard time.
