Anna Elizabeth Myers Pittard's Obituary
Anna Elizabeth Myers Pittard departed this world the evening of Sunday, June 27th. She left this life like she lived on her own terms. Anna dedicated her life to teaching and sharing her love of knowledge as an ELA teacher at Arlington Middle School for more than ten years. She was proud of her students (past and present) and enjoyed catching up with them every time she saw them.
Anna loved words, (it came naturally, her name is a palindrome), a good pun, reading, sharing stories, an excellent glass of wine, cooking, music, theater, and especially her friends and family. Her laugh was larger than life and could be heard often before you saw her. She enjoyed spending time with friends and family.
The light of Anna’s life was her family. She adored sharing AMS with William the past 3 years and was so excited that Henry would be with her in the fall. Anna’s best days were spent with Ben. He and Anna were two peas in a pod, just as happy to hang out together as they were at a concert for their favorite band.
An Anna-shaped-hole is left in the hearts of her husband Ben, her sons William and Henry, her parents Larry and Nancy, her sister (almost twin) Jennifer, her brother Tommy, her nieces Sierra and Sydney, her nephews Riley and Zachary, her bonus parents Bill and Judy, Anna’s in-laws, extended family, and friends.
A celebration of Anna’s life will be held this Saturday (July 3rd) at Advent Presbyterian in Cordova. Visitation is 3-5pm with the service to follow at 5:30.
The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made in Anna’s name to the Advent Arlington Presbyterian PDO to fund preschool for deserving children.
