Richard Livingston Obituary

Livingston, Richard C.

84, of St. Petersburg, Florida, a true refined Southern gentleman, passed away December 11, 2025. Richard worked at Life of Georgia Insurance Company in Atlanta before moving to Florida in 1989 where he began his real estate career at Waterfront Realty. Through his beloved work and love of people, Richard met many clients and colleagues who became treasured friends and family. Richard was an incredible cook, an avid follower of Julia Child and loved to entertain. He was a wonderful artist; he loved watercolor and needlepoint, was an avid reader, and loved his cat, Lola. He is preceded in death by his mother, Ruth Livingston. Richard is survived by cousins, friends and special family, Roger Barnes and Leslie Jeffrey. If your heart leads you, donations to your local no-kill shelter, or the American Cancer Society in his honor, would be appreciated.
