TUESDAY, January 3, 1961 found the day blessed with the birth of twin babies-a girl and a boy-born to the late Mr. O. D. and Ella Mae (Pearson) Pittman in Sunflower, MS. One of these babies was OLIVER PITTMAN. As he grew up, he was fond of football. He enjoyed taking long walks (he'd say he was getting his exercise), and he loved the music of Michael Jackson.

On the night of November 14, 2025, he passed away at Wayne General Hospital. His loved ones who treasure his memories include one son: Adrian Pittman of Albany, NY; four sisters: Purlie (L.Z.) Cooley of Shubuta, MS, his twin sister, Odessa (Larry) Rankin of Waynesboro, MS, Dorothy (Gary) Dixon and Betty (Willie) Dixon both of Sunflower, MS; two brothers: T.L. (Geraldine) Pittman of Shubuta, MS and Freddie (Susie) Edwards of Sunflower, MS; four grandchildren: Cedric, Madison, Miles, and Mason all of Albany, NY, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

In addition to his parents, Oliver was preceded in death by one sister: Annie B. Ollie; two brothers: I. D. and L. T. Pittman, and his daughter: Samantha Pittman.

Funeral services will take place Friday, November 21, 2025 at 2:30 PM at New Zion Cemetery. Mr. Pittman's viewing will occur Thursday, November 20, 2025 from 12:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Turner Funeral Home.
