Betty Livingston Obituary

BETTY JEAN LIVINGSTON May 23, 1926 - Feb. 5, 2013 Betty died peacefully in her Riverside home Tuesday AM at the age of 86. She is survived by her daughter Diane Hickam, her son Larry Livingston, her grandchildren Lindsey Hickam, Bryan & Jason Martorano and her great granddaughter Emma Fay Martorano. Betty was born and raised in International Falls, MN and moved to Riverside in 1949 where she met and married her husband Chet Livingston. She worked at Riverside Municipal Court as a clerk for 15 years. Betty was a social butterfly; everywhere she went she made new friendships, many of which lasted forever, some of which only lasted a plane ride to Oregon. She loved her friends like family. She also loved sports, late night TV, her garden, happy hour, cooking, and photography. There's a prayer service and celebration of life this Monday at 7pm at Eden Lutheran Church, 4725 Brockton Ave. Her funeral is Tuesday, Feb. 12th at 1pm, also at Eden.
