Mary Louise Pitt
November 25, 1931 — January 28, 2022
Mary Louise graduated from Waterford High School. She married Hurd Clinton Pitt on September 15, 1951. Together they raised their family, Gary Pitt, Karen Crawford, Rebecca "Becky" Smith (Greg) and Angela Bennett (Brian).This led to the next generation, Clinton Smith (Paige) and Lauren Tolley (Alexus), Taylor Crawford, Hailey, Katherine "Katie" and Nathan Bennett, and she enjoyed attending their athletic and musical events.She is also survived by her siblings, Camilla Heiss, Anna Jean Huck (Bill), Joe Offenberger (Anna) and Harriet Henrie; sister in law, Kay Offenberger; and all of her friends at Appletree in Beverly.
Over the years, she worked for Mahoney's Hardware and Apex True Value, retiring in 2017 after 53 years of helping people with their hardware needs. She was a member of The Basilica of St. Mary of the Assumption and the Lowell American Legion Auxiliary. Later in life, she enjoyed watching RFD TV, specifically, the Molly B Polka Show, and she even attended a taping of the show, with her sister, Camilla.
She was preceded in death by her husband; brother, Cecil Offenberger; sister, Marilyn Pawlaczyk; and son in law, Herb Crawford.
Mom enjoyed a full and happy life, and we would like to thank the people who made it possible: the caring staff at Appletree in Beverly, her Apex friends and those in the community that kept in touch after her retirement.
