Pearl Stewart Pitt

Pearl is survived by her daughter, Lisa Montgomery; son-in-law, John Montgomery; along with many nieces and nephews.

Pearl was predeceased by her parents, Harry and Ada Stewart; her husband, Leldon Pitt; her son, Robert Pitt; her brothers, Harry, Ervyl and Norman; and her sister, Dorothy.

She attended Wilmington High School and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Tufts University and top of her class at Columbia Medical School in New York, where she met her husband Leldon.

Pearl had an amazing career as a pediatrician and a physician at Bryn Mawr College. She ended her career as Director of Maternal and Child Health for the City of Philadelphia. She enjoyed traveling and reading and loved her grand pups, Baily and Pearl (her namesake).

Our sincere thanks go to all the caring staff at Marsh's Edge who took care of her for so many years. A special thanks goes to her caretaker Mary Edna Herrin who loved her dearly and took such wonderful care of her.

In keeping with her wishes a private family ceremony will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia.
