Patsy June Pittman, 76, of Sedro-Woolley, passed away peacefully on Tuesday March 18, 2014 at her home with her loving family by her side. She was born on March 3, 1938 in Sedro-Woolley to Leland and Betty (Davis) Cabe. She attended school in Sedro-Woolley and continued her education thru career related education.
On August 20, 1954, she married the love of her life, Harold Pittman, and raised their family staying in the same home for 55 years before moving closer to town. She was so excited to be celebrating their 60th anniversary this summer.
Patsy was asked to fill a secretary position at Samish School until they could hire someone, which turned into a 30 year career in which she received many achievement certificates with the Sedro-Woolley School District, a job which she loved and was so loved by many, with everlasting friendships formed.
Patsy also loved to do volunteer work. She was involved in the United General Hospital Auxiliary, two local soup kitchens and for many craft projects at Samish School. That’s the kind of person she was.
Patsy’s entire life was devoted to her family, as well as anyone who needed some TLC. Many received homemade soups and rolls at their doorstep if she heard they were ill, often when she herself should have been lying down. She loved to cook for her family, decorate for the holidays, gardening, camping, enjoyed attending Christ The King Church in Mount Vernon, decorating cakes, crocheting and her flower arrangements were a favorite to so many.
We all have wonderful memories of the last few months of some vacations at a Lake house, Winthrop and Leavenworth and our homes, where we were altogether cherishing every second.
If you knew her, you loved her. She made everyone feel like they were her favorite, touching so many lives. If you asked her grandchildren, I’m sure each one thought they were her favorite…..and they were right.
Patsy is survived by her husband, Harold Pittman; 2 daughters, Debbie Conner (Patrick) and Vicki Christofferson (Scott); 3 grandchildren, Kelli Segars (Daniel), Brianne Noyes (John), Krista Christofferson (Fiancée Steve) and 3 great-grandchildren, Alexis and Mackenzie Noyes and Kennedy Barclay; her sister, Jeannie Halverson (Leonard) and many special nieces and nephews and family members she loved dearly. She also leaves behind a special kitty, Bailey.
Patsy was preceded in death by parents, Leland and Betty Cabe; brother, Danny Cabe and 2 sisters, Donna Queen and Baby Joanne Marie.
A special thank you to United General Hospital; Dr.Mathey and staff, Hospice of the Northwest (Jenny B) and loving family and friends for all their support. Remembrances may be made to North Puget Cancer Center, 2000 Hospital Drive, Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284.

Prayers and thoughts for the family.
Was so saddened to hear of Patty’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Harold and the family. Patty was kind and loving and always had a smile when you met her. She will be greatly missed by everyone.
I have so many great memories of you all and will miss Pat. She really was a special woman, she always took the time to say hello and ask how I was. I have many childhood memories of living near your family and going to school with your mom as the school secretary. My Dad and Mom thought so highly of her and respected her wonderful qualities at work. She will be missed by everyone she met. My thoughts go out to all of you.
We have known Patsy for a very long time. I was always impressed by her patience with kids and adults alike. She always had a softness about her, that you see in very few people.You have been so giving of your time and energy.I know she is with God now and no more pain. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.She was a lady when I met her and a lady when she had to leave. Dorothy
So many great memories of this beautiful lady and her family words can not even begin to say what an amazing person she was but I know Lemleys’ would not want me to write a book 🙂 I know that God has got himself the best angel ever, she was an angel on earth and is flying high in heaven with no pain. My heart goes out to all her family, I know what a great and loving family they are. I know Pat will always be watching and looking out for you all. And to my Vick, love ya Judy
