Rachel Pittman was born on June 23, 1969, in Paterson, New Jersey, to Rosa Lee Fenner and the late Richard Pittman Sr.
She grew up in Paterson, where she developed a deep love for music and fashion. From an early age, Rachel had an ear for rhythm and a heart for melody-music spoke to her soul. She could often be found wandering off just to listen to her favorite songs, letting the sounds carry her away.
Rachel also had a creative spirit and a keen eye for style. She loved putting outfits together, expressing her vibrant personality through the clothes she wore. Alongside her passion for music and fashion, she found joy in reading and collecting books, always eager to explore new stories and ideas.
Rachel's warm presence, kind heart, and joyful energy touched everyone who knew her. Though she left us far too soon, her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of her loved ones.
She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Pittman Sr., siblings, Rochelle Pittman and Ricky Pittman.
Survived by mother, Rosa Lee Fenner; her siblings, Belinda Pittman McFadden, Anita Pittman, Richard Pittman Jr., Rahkey McGuire, Shaneka Smith, and Khalif Chain; along with a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will forever hold her close in their hearts.
Rachel will be deeply missed by her sister Belinda Pittman and niece Precious Ramsey but never forgotten. Her love, laughter, and light will continue to shine through all who knew and loved her.
