Ilene Lois Rietman was born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 4, 1935, at Mount Sinai Hospital. Her early life in Chicago set the stage for a future marked by education and family. She pursued higher education at the University of Michigan, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and then a Master of Business Administration. In 1957, at the age of 21, Ilene married Charles Mittman in Chicago. They had known each other since grammar school, forging a connection that would last a lifetime. Charles, also from Chicago, was on his own path in medicine, having graduated from the University of Chicago Medical School.
As Ilene embarked on her career as an administrator, her family began to grow. She and Charles welcomed their first two sons, Scott Harvey in 1958 and Brian Sheldon in 1960, both born in Chicago. The early 1960s saw a significant move for the young family when Charles served in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps in Baltimore, Maryland, where their third son, Jeffrey Alan, was born in 1962. By 1964, they had returned to Chicago for the birth of their fourth son, David Saul. A pivotal change came in 1966 when the family relocated to Arcadia, California, marking a new chapter in their lives as Charles continued his pulmonary research and clinical work at the City of Hope in Duarte.
The family's journey continued across California, driven by Charles's advancing medical career. They moved to Fresno in 1987 and then to La Jolla in 1993, where Charles took on leadership roles at the University of California, San Diego Medical School. Throughout these moves, Ilene maintained her professional life as an administrator and was an active partner in their shared interests. She and Charles cultivated a love for travel and photography, passions that they often shared with their growing extended family. They became devoted members of San Diego’s philanthropic and cultural communities, contributing to the area’s vibrant life. Ilene and Charles celebrated 64 years of marriage before Charles passed away in 2021, leaving behind a legacy that included their four sons, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

Born into the bustling city of Chicago, Illinois, on June 11, 1935, Charles Mittman was a man destined for a life of purpose and profound contribution. The son of Bernard Mittman and Sylvia Klang, Charles, affectionately known to his friends as "Mitty," began his remarkable journey with an early display of academic brilliance. Following in the illustrious footsteps of his older brother, Ben, Charles distinguished himself as the outstanding graduate of Von Steuben High School in 1953. With a near-perfect scholastic record, he was not only class president and National Honor Society president but also an avid photography hobbyist, capturing memories from family trips to Florida, Cuba, and both coasts. It was during these formative years in Chicago that Charles's path first intertwined with Ilene Pavlove, the girl he would meet in grammar school and later marry. His ambition, even then, was clear: to pursue a medical career at the esteemed University of Chicago, a dream he hoped to fulfill without the interruption of military service, unlike his brother.
Charles's aspirations came to fruition when, on June 23, 1957, he married his beloved Ilene Lois Rietman in Chicago. Their union blossomed, and they soon welcomed four sons into their lives: Scott Harvey, Brian Sheldon, Jeffrey Alan, and David Saul. As a graduate of the University of Chicago Medical School, Charles embarked on his distinguished medical career, beginning with service in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps in Baltimore, Maryland, during the early 1960s. The family then embarked on a significant move in 1966, relocating to Arcadia, California, marking a new chapter in which Charles continued his vital pulmonary research and clinical work at the renowned City of Hope in Duarte, where he eventually rose to the esteemed position of Executive Medical Director.
Dr. Mittman's dedication to medicine and leadership continued to flourish across California. In 1987, the family moved to Fresno, where Charles served as President of the Central California Faculty Medical Group, overseeing physicians affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco. A few years later, in 1993, he and Ilene settled in La Jolla, where Charles became the Dean for Clinical Affairs at the University of California, San Diego Medical School. He concluded his illustrious professional journey as the Director of Corporate Compliance at UCSD Health Service, leaving an indelible mark on medical education and administration. Beyond his professional achievements, Charles nurtured a passion for travel, a joy he shared generously with Ilene and their growing family, and his award-winning photography graced the pages of newspapers, magazines, and travel books.
Charles "Mitty" Mittman passed away peacefully on September 14, 2021, in La Jolla, California, at the age of 86. His life was a testament to intellect, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to both family and community. He is lovingly remembered by Ilene, his wife of 64 years, his four sons and their wives, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, all of whom carry forward his legacy of warmth and accomplishment. Together with Ilene, Charles was a devoted supporter of San Diego's philanthropic and cultural communities, leaving behind a profound impact that continues to resonate. His memory remains a beacon of inspiration, cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
