Florida, passed away on January 11, 2021.
Flo was born on November 11, 1945, in Brunswick,
Georgia. She was the youngest of four daughters
born to James and Lulamae Whitmire. She grew up in
Wahneta, Florida. On July 6, 1962, she married the
love of her life, Donald "Lamar" Pittman. They were
blessed with 4 children, 12 grandchildren, and 8
great-grandchildren.
Flo retired from the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office in
2011 after 28 years of service as a school crossing
guard. Since 2001, Flo worked alongside her
husband, Lamar, as Director of Concessions at
Okeeheelee Baseball Association.
Flo was an avid line dancer for over 30 years and
enjoyed dancing with her friends at Renegades and
the Moose Lodge. She affectionately called it her
"therapy" and will be missed by many on the dance
floor. Flo was blessed to have many great friends,
including lifelong friends Joy Walker, Jane Doss,
and her partner in crime, Janice King.
Flo leaves behind a legacy at Okeeheelee Baseball
Field where she was a fixture for over 45 years.
She spent countless hours watching her children,
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren play ball and
has been known to travel to watch other league
players. She was known as "Maw Maw" and "Granny
Flo" to many around the park. Her smile and unique
personality will be dearly missed in the concession
stand where she prepared "World Famous French Fries"
for over 20 years.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Lisa
Diane Kraft (2014), and son, James Lamar Pittman
(2015). Flo is survived by her adoring husband
