Pontotoc – Henry (Hank) Pitts, 87, passed away Saturday, March 21, 2020 at Sanctuary Hospice House. After an active career in the U.S. Air Force, Hank retired in 1972 as a Master Sergeant and settled down in Pontotoc with his family. Even though Pontotoc was not his first choice, he was glad they stayed. He thought it a great place to raise children and have a "retirement" job with Deville Furniture.
In a commitment to assist in this time of Covid-19, a private family service will be held.

He is preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Mary Lou Pitts; and his parents, Henry and Lillian Pitts.
Pallbearers: Eric Pitts, Michael Pitts, Sam Howell, and Patrick Bedgood.
