Mollie Virginia Pittman

Mollie attended Mountain Brook High School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She worked for 15 years at the Dande Lion shop in Mountain Brook Village, where she managed the store’s inventory and helped customers find the perfect gifts and home furnishings. Her sharp eye for design was seen daily through the store’s window displays.

Mollie will be remembered most for her deep sense of compassion, keen intellect, unmatched sense of style, and above all, her service to others. She found joy in celebrations and was known for the beautiful parties, showers and events she planned for her many friends and family members. She had an innate ability to appear exactly when she was most needed. She found beauty in the ordinary, and in the tiny details of life, as demonstrated by her encyclopedic knowledge of horticulture and her near photographic memory.

Mollie was a gifted artist and master of any creative endeavors she undertook, which included acting, singing, decorating, gardening and antiquing. She withheld her luminous smile from no one and entered each day with a wise heart and open mind.

Mollie is survived by her loving parents, Dr. William "Bill" Pittman and Kathy James Pittman; her brother, Braden Pittman; her grandmother, Marjorie Pittman; and her many grateful aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Family and friends are invited for a gathering April 6, 2018 at 10 a.m., followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m., at Canterbury United Methodist Church, 350 Overbrook Road, Mountain Brook, AL 35213.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the animal advocacy organization of your choice.
