Mary Loette Pittman

Mary Loette Pittman, 73, of Newnan, GA passed away peacefully with family by her side on May 15, 2026. She was born on December 14, 1952, in Zebulon, GA to the late Melvin Coggins and Katherine Bell Turner.

Known to almost everyone as “Meemaw,” Loette had a heart as wide open as her front door.

She was generous to her core – with her gifts, her time, and most of all her love – and had a way of making everyone around her feel like family. She had an effortless sense of style that turned heads wherever she went, whether dressed for Sunday church or simply out running errands, and she always wore it with a smile. Her kitchen was a place of love, where she cooked hearty, homestyle meals from scratch — rarely needing a recipe, just her instincts and her heart. Nothing summed her up quite like her sweet tea and famous homemade biscuits. She treasured time spent with her loved ones, whether that meant sitting on the porch listening to good music, a weekend at a mountain cabin, a day at the lake, or evenings out enjoying concerts and breweries together. Wherever she went, she brought warmth and joy with her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Tommy Pittman; her son, Tommy Pittman; her brother, Douglas Coggins; and many other loved ones.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Tonya and Boyd Burns of Newnan, GA, as well as three bonus children she loved as her own: Roxane Pittman, Chuck (Linda) Gabany, and Tracey Rhey. Together they gave her thirteen grandchildren: Katie (Ceejay), Courtney (Joe), Sami, and Jackie; Austin (Payton) and Tyler (Jamie); Jake (Samantha) and Annie;

Brittney (Shaun) and Josh; Amber, Jessie (Benny), and Devin; and fifteen great-grandchildren, with one more precious one on the way. She is further survived by her beloved chosen family, including Rita, Anita, Brandi (Dane), Joe (Missy), Kim, and Kim (Shawn), as well as many lifelong friends she held as dear as her own.

In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations be made to the donor’s charity of choice in her memory. A memorial service will be held at a later date to celebrate Loette’s life.
