Linda Fay Pittser

Linda Faye Pittser, 71, of Bartlesville, died Friday in Bartlesville. She joins her beloved husband Tony in heaven, but will be missed by her sons, daughters-in-law, grandkids and church family. Linda was born the daughter of Aubrey Starrett and Macle (Cook) Witcher on February 4, 1947, in Ward, AR. She grew up surrounded by family, with both sets of grandparents lived just a few doors down. Linda attended local schools, graduating from Cabot High School in 1965. It was by chance that a phone call started a 47 year love affair with Tony Pittser. Tony was stationed at the Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville, AR. They married on Linda’s birthday in 1966. They made their home in north Tulsa but attended church in Bixby, later moving to Bixby to be closer to church family and to raise their two boys. During the boys’ growing up years, Linda was a devoted stay-at-home mom. Their house became the go-to place for the boys’ many friends and she touched many of their lives. Once the boys were grown, Linda started her career with the Bixby Health Department, retiring after receiving her 10 year plaque for faithful service. In 2013 Tony preceded her in death and she moved to Bartlesville to be closer to her son Bill and family. Linda accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior from a young age. She led Tony to the Lord and raised her boys in the church. She was a longtime member of the Riverview Baptist Church and most recently the First Baptist Church of Bartlesville. Over the years she was active in many church activities and ministries, and she enjoyed singing in the choir. Linda and Tony loved to travel and they took many memorable trips with the boys in the RV to Colorado and on up into Wyoming. Later in life, they went out to California to drive up to Oregon through the red wood forest. Most of all, Linda will be remembered for being a loving mother and doting grandmother who invested countless hours at their school activities and sporting events. Linda is survived by her pride and joy, her boys Mike Pittser and Glenna of Edmond, OK, and Bill Pittser and Heather of Bartlesville; six grandchildren Abbye, Coleman, Megan, Natalie, McKenzie and Elaina, and her extended church family and friends. She was preceded by her beloved husband Tony, her parents and brother David Starrett. Linda’s family will receive friends at the Davis Family Funeral Home – Walker Brown Chapel, 918-333-7665, 4201 Nowata Rd, Bartlesville, on Monday, October 1, from 6-8 p.m. Graveside services will be held 2 p.m. on Tuesday, October 2, at the Bixby Cemetery, Bixby, Ok, with Pastor James Biesiadecki officiating.
