Marie Poutz was a prominent American worker in the Theosophical Society in America, affectionately known as "Poutzie."
Marie Poutz was born on February 12, 1860 to Pierre and Estelle Ferrier Poutz in New Orleans.[1] Pierre was a cotton buyer, and two of his sons became cotton inspectors. Marie continued living in New Orleans until at least 1901, but by 1910 had moved to Norfolk, Virginia, working as a stenographer in an attorney's office.[2][3] By 1912 she had moved to the new Theosophical colony of Krotona in Hollywood.[4] There she worked as a stenographer, teacher, and lecturer. Later, after the Krotona Institute of Theosophy was relocated in Ojai, Ventura County, she sometimes worked in the Krotona Library.[5]
In 1935 she and C. Jinarajadasa visited the California Pacific International Exposition.[6]
During summer conventions and summer school at the American Section's headquarters, Olcott, the members would meet for meditation before breakfast, according to Clara Codd: "Generally this is taken by the most beloved person in the whole section, little Miss Marie Poutz, head of the esoteric work."[7]
Miss Poutz died on July 28, 1951 in Ventura County, California.
