Known for her loving nature, Mrs. Pettitt was a devoted member of her church, wife and mother.  Even after retiring from a career at Sara Lee, she turned her full attention to caring for her husband and son.  She enjoyed, immensely, cooking for her family, especially for the holidays, and made sure that all who visited with her did not leave hungry.  She also spent much quality time with her great grandchildren: “her buddies.”  She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
