The world has lost a truly spunky and loving soul with the passing of Adele Pitts on April 29, 2023. Adele was born on July 31, 1942, in Uniondale, New York, to her parents Randoil Pitts and Marie Vaughn.

Adele was a mothering big sister to siblings Randoil Pitts, Tauheedah Muhammad, Rebecca Pringle, Dorothy Lapierre and Isaac Pitts.

Adele may have left this earth, but she leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter that will never be forgotten. She had 7 children, Raymond Parker, Gregory Pitts, Tammy Peterson, Franklin Peterson, Neckol Grant, Dorothy Edwards, and Doris Edwards, who will always cherish her memory.

As a Transit Operator by profession, Adele spent her life making connections with people from all walks of life. Her infectious smile and positive energy made her beloved by her colleagues and the commuters she served on a daily basis.

Adele was a stern and doting grandmother to 12 grandchildren, Kenneth Parker, Gregory L Pitts, Ashley Pitts, Jamel & Justin Peterson, Jasmine Peterson, Ebony Grant, Dominique Martin, Lashelly Mayo, Franklin (Kwamain) France, Rhondalyn France and Cassandra Augustin. Her family will always remember her as the sarcastic, no nonsense and get it done matriarch.
