Dear Pittman family,

I've known JoAnne through work for many years. She could always be counted on to address the issue and end the conversation with a joke or laugh. She was a sweet woman, who bettered the lives of so many people-professionally and personally. I will remember her fondly. May you find comfort during this time.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Joanne’s family. Joanne always took the time in providing guidance with the utmost professionalism and care whenever I was seeking answers. I trusted and relied on the information that she provided. Her smile, down-to-earth matter, and even her feistiness will always be in my memories and heart.

Sending condolences to the Pittman family. Joanne was very special to me not only as colleagues but more as a friend. She was a very sweet, honest and straight-forward person who spoke from the heart even when she was "laying down the law" when necessary. I will always miss my "next door" neighbor and friend who taught me so much over the years. I will always cherish our heart-to-heart conversations because she always knew when I needed a hug, words of wisdom or a swift kick. Sending prayers to the family and friends as we mourn the loss of this beautiful woman. Rest in Peace Joanne.

JoAnne's heart reached all the way to the West coast. She could take an ordinary task and find a way to build a connection with it. And there is no doubt that she has connections all over the world! May her legacy live on forever as a shining example, and may her memory always be a blessing.

Joanne - I am truly speechless. We have worked together for the past 4 years in the Office of Human Resources and it has been a delight to know you. I have gained so much knowledge from you. We had just spoke a couple weeks back and I still cannot believe that you are gone. I will miss you. Thank you for always being you! My sincerest condolences to the family. My prayer is that God will be with you all in these times.

My condolences to the Pittman Family. I was so sad to hear the news that Joanne transitioned. She truly was a sweet person with an amazing soul that helped me so much, more than I think she realized. She showed me how to take the commuter bus riding it with me the first time when I became sick and could no longer take the Metro. Sometimes it is just the simple things that make people special and Joanne surely was that. I hope that you can find peace and comfort in the memories that you shared. Joanne will be missed I just thought of her today and I am sure that I will have more days ahead that I will think of her and miss her. I am not sure on how we will fill the void, but God knows best. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Many blessings and much love always.... Cordelia Bostic

I had the pleasure of working with Joanne for many years at DOT. Joanne was professional, knowledgeable, and ALWAYS willing to help her colleagues to better the benefits program. She truly cared about the program and being able to help DOT's employees. I enjoyed our many chats over the years and I will surely miss Joanne. My thoughts and condolences are with Joanne's family.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of Ms. Joanne Pittman. Of her many attributes, the most I will remember is her kindness. To possess such kind-heartedness was not only a gift, but inspiring to many of us. I will deeply miss her and hope you, her family, may find some comfort in knowing that many of us had the privilege of knowing her and having our lives touched by her. May she rest with in peace.

To the family of JoAnne Pittman:
I was a co-worker with JoAnne at the OIG. She will be sorely missed not only for her ability to do her job very well but because she was a generous and kind person, inside and out. Condolences go out to all of her family.

To the Pittman family,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. JoAnne was an amazing colleague, but even more so an amazing person. That smile of hers and that giggle, I know you know what I'm referencing, brought smiles and shared laughter to us all. I will miss her more that I'll ever be able to convey. If she was this effective at work, the pain of losing a family member must be compounded. May you be assured that JoAnne made a huge impact on countless employees and made lasting friendships. Wishing you peace and comfort as you grieve this enormous loss.

-Jill

I am in disbelief of your passing Aunt Joanne, never thought I would be here writing this tribute to you. I know we all have to leave this earth one day, just wasn’t ready to see you go so soon, so fast. I will miss our talks and laughs we shared when I would come over and you do my taxes. Thanks you for making sure I handled my business when it came to tax season for over 20 yrs. Thank you for your advice and wisdom and all you did for me and my family. I will miss your smile, even your bossiness who would of thought that I am going to miss that but because of you everyone has to take their shoes off before they walk on my carpet I can go on and on, Our memories with you will last forever . Rest In Paradise auntie, God has an another Angel I love you and I will forever miss you. Until we meet again

Joanne - There are no words to describe the hurt I feel. Our work relationship was good but our friendship meant so much more than you will ever know. I am going to miss you so much. We have been there for each other through good times and bad. You would do anything for me and I would do the same for you. I am going to miss everything about you. You have touched so many lives that I don't think you even realize. Rest in peace my sweet friend. I will remember you always. I love you Ms. Pittman.

My sincere condolences to the Pittman family on the loss of your beloved Joanne..... 
I recall the three of us (Joanne, myself and the late Norma Adams) were close friends during the late 60's. Joanne had a caring, fun & lively personality. We often enjoyed going over each other's house to hang out, trying styles on each other's hair & also shopping in the Georgetown area--- sometimes picking outfits that match.
Even though many years have past & we had lost contact, I'm grateful to reflect & value, having known such a kind individual & also the blessing of many wonderful memories!
Prayerfully......    Rachel

My dearest Sister,

It's tough for me to sit here and write this letter to you. I’m trying to come to grips with the fact that you are no longer here with us in the flesh. Whenever I called you during your work week you always answered or returned my call. You would say “What’s up” is there anything wrong? I would say, I’m just calling to check on my sister and hear how you are doing. You would say “ I’m fine just working, but I have a few minutes. No matter how busy you were you always had a few minutes to talk to me. You always asked how was the girls and Dwight. You enjoyed the mini video clips I would send you of Sadie acting out. You would say “ Sadie has an old soul” and laugh. Yeah, I ‘m missing your laugh and miss hearing your voice. You were a generous and giving person and your best quality was helping anyone who sought your help or advice.  I will no longer hear you say goodbye, and I love you after our conversations. I love you and missing you so very much. You are no longer in pain or struggling to breathe and sleep. God wanted you with him and his will was done. Rest in sleep my dear sweet sister. ❤️
