Margie Ann Pittman

Ann was born as Margie “Ann” Burroughs on August 1,
1963, to the late Margaret Mack and the late Willie
Burroughs at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. Ann
was their first born. Although she was born as Margie,
everyone called her “Ann”. Ann started her education in
Brooklyn, NY. Ann became a mother at a young age. In
1980, at the age of 15 she gave birth to her first born, her
one and only son Kevin, in New York City. July of 1981,
Ann gave birth to her pride and joy Yolanda in Houston,
Texas. On July 24, 1981, Ann married the love of her life
the late Gregory Pittman. They were not done yet, July of
1982, Ann gave birth to their baby girl Latoya in
Frankfurt, Germany. She was then complete. Ann
traveled as a military wife with her family. It wasn’t easy
leaving home at such a young age. She had to adapt to
being away from her siblings Willie, Renee, Audrey and
Duane. Despite the distance, they were still able to
embrace their love unconditionally. In 1992, Ann and her
family moved to Philadelphia, PA. 726 W. Wingohocking
street was the place she called home and she loved it.
Ann carried a big heart, that many families welcomed her

with open arms. Some of the Wingohocking families that
was so dear to her heart were Ms. Carol & family, Elaine
& family, Mousie & the Herbert Family and many from
Franklin Street. Her besties Lisa and Rita who she lost
along the way are celebrating her victory with open
arms. She loved spending and having a good time with
everyone. If she was there, you would know it. Ann
loved dancing and listening to some good music. Songs
like “Step in the name of love” & “Started from the
bottom” would have her in the middle of any dance
floor. She loved her slow jams too. Especially music by
“Blue Magic” & the “Stylistics”. She also loved to cook
for her family and friends. Her fried chicken and potato
salad was her most popular. Ann maintained a
profession at Popeyes, KFC, Skin by Denise and most
memorable braiding hair. In 1996, Ann was blessed with
her first grandson Yhari. Although she was a young
grandmother, she still maintained to raise her kids along
with her grandson. In 2006, she was blessed with two
more grandchildren Taniyah and Mariah. And her family
continued to grow to a total of 8 grands and 1 great
grand Ava. The amount of love she had for them were
remarkable. They were all the center of her heart. Ann
loved spending time at her children’s house, especially

during the holidays. She also loved traveling to NY to
spend time with her little big cousin Tuyshwa whom she
loved so much. Ann had a big heart and wasn’t afraid to
speak her mind. She would cuss you out and speak to
you the next day. She would say “How you doin?” in her
own unique way with a smile. There was no shame in
her game. That’s what we all loved about her. When she
showed up, she was “Ann”! And she would always
remind us with her favorite phrase “I’m Ann Pittman,
what part don’t you understand”! If you were lucky, she
would spell it out for you. She was the life of the party. If
you really knew her, you loved her. The good and bad.
Those memories will forever be cherished
Ann started her battle with cancer in mid-2000’s. She
fought without any of our knowledge. She was so private
and didn’t want anyone to worry. She was so strong as
she continued to fight and live her life to the fullest. In
2021, Ann lost the love of her life. The late Gregory
Pittman. She was so lost without him. They had a special
bond that was out this world. He was her rock and made
sure she was ok even when things weren’t ok between
them. Ann made sure her family stayed together even if
it was sacrificing her own happiness. That’s who she
was. As you can imagine it wasn’t easy, but she dealt

with it in her own way. During her most vulnerable time,
cancer found its way back into her body. She fought until
she couldn’t fight anymore. God called her home
peacefully the morning of June 27, 2022, with her sister
Renee by her side. No more fear! No more pain! No more
suffering. Ann was comforted and visited by her children,
family and loved ones in her last moments. Ann knew
she was loved. She will truly be missed by all family and
friends.

Ann leaves to mourn her 3 children Kevin Burroughs
