Phyllis Lorraine Pitkin

December 20, 1928 - December 25, 2020

P. Lorraine Pitkin passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ, on Christmas morning, 2020, at St John's Hospital in Tulsa, OK. Born in Buffalo Center, IA to Walter and Pearl Winkleman, she was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend to many. Lorraine attended Mankato State College, NIACC, and Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL. She began sharing her life long love of music by playing piano at age 9 on Christian radio in Des Moines, IA. Lorraine loved to share her faith through music by teaching, accompanying and performing. She was an outgoing person who loved life. Lorraine is survived by her 3 children, Jackie Allison (Gary), Jerry Pitkin (Heather), and Jeff Pitkin (Thriscilla), and her grandchildren, Paige and Drake Pitkin, Tyler Crosser, and Natalie and Luke Pitkin; her sister, Beverly Mawdsley, and brother, Dwight Winkleman (Jan). She was preceded in death by her parents and Robert Pitkin and Lawrence Pitkin. Lorraine shared her faith with many and often quoted her Wheaton classmate, Jim Elliott, who said, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." The family will gather at a later date to celebrate Lorraine's life. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to The Mission Owasso. Arrangements were entrusted to Mowery Funeral Service.
