Herbert Melvin Livingston, 75, of Swansea, died peacefully Saturday morning at his home. Melvin was born September 6, 1944, and was a long-standing resident of Lexington County – Pooles Mill Community, on the North Edisto River.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Gloria Callahan Livingston. They enjoyed their lives together, traveling to many fun destinations with friends and family, creating unmeasurable memories.

Burial with full masonic rites will follow in the church cemetery. “Well done, good and faithful servant! Come into your eternal rest.” (Matthew 24: 23, 34). For we who depart this world knowing our eternity is secure through the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, there is no weeping or sorrow. Still, as we attend the funeral of a believer, though it may be a celebration of a life well-lived, we will mourn and miss him until we are once again reunited in Heaven.
