Frances Barnett Pitts

Frances was born February 15, 1924 in Greer, SC to the late Clarence Elmer Barnett and Nora Myrtle Meadows Barnett. She was a graduate of Furman University.

Frances was a member of Christ Episcopal Church, and she faithfully served her church in a variety of capacities including helping with flower arrangements for weddings and funerals. She was a member of The Garden Club and The Women’s Club. Frances enjoyed gardening and flowers, often participating in Flower Shows as a judge. Her hobbies included traveling and time with family. She always had a wit about her and knew how to make everyone laugh. She will be well missed, but lovingly remembered.

Surviving family members are her daughter, Lynn Lankford; grandson who was the apple of her eye, Charles “Chaz” Thomas Lankford; sister-in law, Jean Pitts; and her extended family, Jeff, Tracy, Brooke, and Cameron Blankenship; Larry Pitts “ The Ice-cream Man”; Debbie Constance; and a host of nephews and nieces and furry baby, Jake. She was predeceased by her daughter, Cynthia Laverne Pitts; son-in-law, Jerry Mark Lankford, in addition to her husband and parents.

A huge thank you to all her caregivers for all their assistance over the years. A special thank you to the Beverly, Tasha, Natasha and Marlene.
