Obituary of Jean Anne Livingston

Jean Anne Livingston passed away this week, three years after the death of her beloved husband, Carl Livingston, Jr., with whom she shared 62 splendid years. Married in 1948, Jean and Carl had two children, Carl III (Chip) and Sally, and three grandchildren, Andrew, Erica Jean, and Sarah. Jean Anne graduated Cum Laude from New York University in 1945 with a degree in retail. She met her husband, Carl Livingston, Jr., while both were employed at R.H. Macy in New York. They were married on April 2, 1947. For ten years, she ran her own business, Ideas Incorporated. She then joined Carl at the multi-generation San Francisco bay area family business, Livingston Brothers, as Vice President and General Merchandise Manager. Jean Anne was also an active member of the San Francisco community, serving on many boards, including the Children's Theater Association, the Women's Cabinet of United Bay Area Crusade, and the Advisory Boards of both the Schools of the Sacred Heart and the Laguna Honda Hospital. She served as the President of the Junior League and chaired the KQED Auction. After over 40 years in San Francisco, Jean and Carl retired to Carmel-by-the-Sea, where she enjoyed membership in the Friends of La Mirada, and the Friends of Hospice. She loved spending time with her family at the Pebble Beach Club, watching her grandchildren swim and visiting with her many friends. A wonderful wife, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, and a woman of tremendous faith, Jean Anne will be sorely missed and long remembered.
