Patricia 'Tricia' Pittard, 53, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, July 14, 2007, after a courageous 15 year battle with cancer. She died in her home surrounded by her family. She had devoted her life to serving God and others, especially her family. She was known for her grace and hospitality, and her home was a haven for many in need. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mabel Bentley. Waiting to join her in heaven are her husband of 30 years, Bruce Pittard; her daughters, Erin and Joanna Pittard; her father and step-mother, Mac and Joyce Bentley; her brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Vicki Bentley and her sister, Pam Bickett.
