We enjoyed our many visits with
Iris in Aberdeen, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. We always thought of her as a Cousin and loving member of our immediate,
rather than extended family.
She left us with many fun-filled and wonderful memories.
We will miss her.

Iris was the best neighbor anyone could wish for. She made me feel welcome as soon as I moved here. Over the years it seemed almost as if the block was a dorm, and Iris was our housemother. The holiday gatherings at her house and her constant attention to the yards and gardens of the entire row contiributed so much to our community. It was a blessing to have known her, and I will miss her always.

Iris was like a sister to Fish and myself from the time we were teenagers at Lincoln University. She treated us like members of her family fussing and keeping us straight along with Joffie and George, her brothers. We love her and will miss her. --Billy and Fish

Iris was a most unusual person
whose dedication to her profession
like that of her good friend
Phyllis Hammond was most unique.
Over the years we engaged in many
spirited discussions covering a
wide variety of subjects and from
time to time I was afforded an
opportunity to sample some of her
gourmet delights.
The impact upon the lives of all
the thousands of students and
parents that Phyllis Hammond
and Iris Pittman made over the
years and to the community as well
will never be forgotten.
The legacy of Iris Pittman can
best be described as devotion to God,Family, Children,and Love for
all Humanity.

Iris and I were family--first cousins. We would occasionally visit each other in Raleigh, Warsaw, or Philly. Also, we occasionally called each other. Iris was an inspiration to me as the older successful relative. She accomplished a lot of great things in her life and she will be missed.
God bless and love to the rest of the family,
Bruce
