* Marcia C. Pitman; Retired Guest House Owner
Marcia Currier Pitman, retired owner of the Mound Guest House, died Monday in Ojai. She was 94.
She was born July 8, 1905, in Mapleton, Maine. In 1913, she moved with her parents and 11 brothers and sisters to Fillmore. She grew up and attended school there.
She bought a home in 1957 originally to take care of her elderly mother. Soon, there were other residents she cared for at the house. It became known as the Mound Guest House and still operates today in Ventura under her only grandson’s ownership.
Her grandson, Rick Pitman of Ventura, said she was a seamstress, knitter and loved to crochet. She also volunteered at area hospitals.
Pitman was a member of Eastern Star and First United Methodist Church.
In addition to her grandson, she is survived by a step-grandson, Scott Steepleton, and a step-granddaughter, Kelly Potts, both of Ventura, and five great-grandchildren.
Services are scheduled at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Charles Carroll Funeral Home in Ventura, with Rick Pitman officiating. Burial will be private.
