Heaven gained a Beautiful Soul when Leona S. Pitts, age 87, of Monticello, Fla., passed away on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. Leona was a genuine person who loved her family fiercely. She had a way of welcoming people into her home and making them feel loved. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. The unconditional love she had for her family was unimaginable, her devotion to them was something to aspire too. The dedication she had for her family was surpassed only by her faith and love for her Lord and Savior.
Leona is survived by her husband and soul-mate of 69 years, Gerald M. Pitts; her children: Michael Pitts, Thea Ellis and Stephen Pitts; her four granddaughters: Leslie Pitts, Stephanie Lyons, Jaclyn Antes and Krista Mediate; and her 13 great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 5 p.m. on Friday, March 6, 2020, at Beggs Funeral Home Chapel in Monticello.
