A remembrance will be held in Bakersfield, Sunday, July 31st between 11:00

Josephine Sarah Pittman passed away peacefully in her daughters home on June 
12, 2005, in San Jose, California, at the age of 87. Josephine or Dody 
dedicated her life to education. She was a devoted and loving teacher for over 
50 years, starting her career at eighteen in a one room school house. She left 
her home state of Pennsylvania to teach in Taft and then in Bakersfield at 
both Standard and Highland elementary schools. In her career as a first grade 
teacher she taught thousands of children as well as an illiterate adult how to 
read. Dody is survived by her husband, Robert Dale Pittman, a retired fourth 
grade teacher and her daughter, Janet (Rusty) Pittman, a 7th grade teacher at 
Davis Middle School in San Jose. Josephine inspired both husband and daughter 
to enter the education field. Josephine embraced a belief passed down from her 
mother who would say, If you have extra money, put it in your childs head and 
she did just that. She was the concept of unconditional love and devotion to 
her daughter. Representing strength of character and selfless values. Since 
retired, Dody is best known for putting around Oildale in her little red 
Volkswagen. She has met and maintained many wonderful friends through the 
years. She will be deeply missed by all. Cards and well wishes can be sent to 
her daughter, Rusty and Bob Pittman at 39 Kent Court, San Jose, California 
95139.
