PITTENS, Marianne Carol (nee Bennett) - December 11, 1948 – December 17, 2015
After a hard-fought battle with breast cancer, Marianne Pittens left us just six days after her 67th birthday.
She joins her loving husband of 42 years, Bill Pittens (2011).
She was a cherished mother to Chris and his wife Joyce, Paula and her husband Bryan, and Charlene and her husband John.
Cherished ‘Mama’ to her grandchildren Felicia, Kassie, Taylor, Christina, Emily and Marissa; her great-grandchildren Mason, Madison and Rayden; and her step-grandchildren Sarah, Vanessa and Jordan.
She also leaves behind her brother Austin. She was pre-deceased by her parents Mae and Harry, her sister Mildred, and her brothers Ray and Bill. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews and cousins. Marianne also leaves behind her cherished four-legged companions, Lucy, Becky and Snowflake.
Marianne retired after many years in the retail industry, but put her skills to good use by volunteering in the gift shops at Hillsdale Estates, Hillsdale Terraces and Lakeridge Health-Oshawa. She could always be seen with a smile on her face for all of the patients and residents.
Marianne’s family would like to say thank you to all of their friends and neighbours for all of their support and comfort over the past several months. Special thanks to Wayne and Carolyne Murray, for their love and support. Marianne’s family would also like to thank all of the nurses, and staff of Lakeridge Health Palliative Care, and the Durham CCAC for all of their tender care and support over the past few weeks.
Visitation will take place at BARNES MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 5295 Thickson Rd. N. Whitby (905-655-3662) from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, December 22, 2015. A funeral service celebrating Marianne’s life will be held in the chapel on Wednesday, December 23, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.
Donations in Marianne’s memory may be made to Hillsdale Estates (Pittens Pub program), or a CHARITY of your choice.
