Falmouth - Beverly Pitman, age 93, passed away peacefully in Falmouth, Maine on January 5, 2023 due to Covid and respiratory failure. She was born March 31, 1929 to Linwood T. Pitman and Evelin L. Pitman. She was predeceased by her beloved brother Richard W. Pitman, who shared her love for music and voice.
She is survived by her 4 children, Constance W. Jordan of Cape Elizabeth, Todd F. Kenniston of Gray, Shawn P. Kenniston of Waterboro and Joel D. (Dawn) Kenniston of Scarborough. She is also survived by her 5 beloved grandchildren, Benjamin J. Frech, Zachary J. Kenniston, Nicholas F. Kenniston, Dana J. Kenniston and Shane M. Kenniston.
Beverly was a lyric soprano; anyone who had the good fortune to hear her voice was irrevocably changed. She was an accomplished pianist and throughout her musical career gave solo piano recitals, was a soloist with chamber music groups, a member of several chamber music groups and sang professionally in many area churches.
She had a 25+ year career in the surgical department at the Maine Eye Center and, upon her retirement, became a Foster Grandparent in the Portland School System for several years, which became her true avocation.
She had a wicked wit and sense of humor and had a wide circle of friends and family with whom she loved to spend time; she especially loved spending time with all her grandchildren who were treasures to her.

Condolences to my friend Joel, brother Todd, and entire family. Wishing you peace and comfort in this time of loss.
I had the privilege of working with Bev at Maine Eye Center for close to 15 years. As a young, newly trained physician, we often joked how she was just 3 months younger than my dad. And although I was “the doctor”, it was her wisdom, sense of humor and kind, quiet ways which helped and guided me through much of my early career. I will never forget our talks about kids, family and life after a long day; and will always be grateful she came into my life. Her memory will forever be a blessing to me.
Really didn’t know her all that well, but, she was always kind and interested in our children. And kind to our side of the family.
My brother-in-laws mom.
