Beverly June Livingstone Lutton died peacefully Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 2, 2012, after a long illness.
Memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Midland.
The family respectfully asks that no flowers be sent. In lieu of flowers, consideration of contributions to the Tarrant County College Foundation, designated to the establishment of the Beverly Lutton Art Scholarship Fund, 1500 Houston St., Fort Worth, Texas 76102, email: foundation.info@tccd.edu; or the Grand Teton National Park Foundation at Box 249, Moose, Wyo. 83012, www.gtnpf.org, in her memory is suggested.
Beverly was born in Glendale, Calif., but lived most of her early life in Edmond, Okla., the daughter of Jess and Bess Livingstone. She attended Central State College and then went to Oklahoma University. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree in oil painting, with a minor in English. As a result, Beverly was interested in art all of her life. She created many beautiful paintings as an expression of her creativity.
After working as a secretary at Sohio Petroleum Co. in Oklahoma City, Okla., she met Duane R. “Dick” Lutton, who also worked at the company.
They married in 1955 and were married for 51 years before Dick’s death in 2005. They retired and spent many years in Midland.
Beverly was quiet and described herself as an introvert, yet she had an impact on her family and friends that cannot be estimated. She was a devoted mother, a loyal friend and the glue that held her family together and will be greatly missed.
In addition to her daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret Lutton of Arlington, Texas, Beverly is survived by a sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and Robert Hayes of Fort Worth; and sister-in-law, Sharon Lutton of Fort Mohave, Ariz.; and their families.
